Mother No Longer Awaits Me - The Stanley Brothers[00:00:00]
One night while the moon from heaven was shining[00:00:08]
My mother was praying for me to come home[00:00:16]
She asked her dear lord watch o'er me out yonder[00:00:23]
To send me back home to never more roam[00:00:31]
When I left my old home way back in the mountains[00:00:39]
I said I'd return with honor and fame[00:00:46]
But a young reckless heart turned wrong at the crossroads[00:00:54]
And now as I go home I bring mother shame[00:01:02]
When I got to the place where I spent my childhood[00:01:25]
The silvery moon was shining so bright[00:01:32]
When I asked my dear friends to tell me of mother[00:01:40]
They said she was called on to heaven last night[00:01:47]
She told them of how she was longing to see me[00:01:55]
How lonely her home since I went away[00:02:03]
Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness[00:02:10]
And meet mother there in heaven some day[00:02:18]
Mother has gone to live with the angels[00:02:26]
Her soul is at rest around the great throne[00:02:33]
Now I have no one left here to advise me[00:02:41]
For mother no longer awaits me at home[00:02:49]
