There's A Mother Always Waiting - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

"So you're going to leave the old home Jim[00:00:07]

Today you're going away[00:00:11]

So you're going among the city folks to dwell"[00:00:14]

So spoke a kind old mother[00:00:20]

To her boy one summer day[00:00:23]

"If your mind's made up that way I wish you well[00:00:26]

The old home will be lonesome[00:00:33]

We'll miss you when you go[00:00:36]

The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh[00:00:39]

But if you get in trouble Jim[00:00:46]

Just write and let us know"[00:00:49]

She spoke these words and then she said goodbye[00:00:52]

If sickness overtakes you[00:00:59]

Or old companions shake you[00:01:02]

As through this world you wander all alone[00:01:05]

When friends you haven't any[00:01:12]

In your pocket not a penny[00:01:15]

There's a mother always awaiting you at home[00:01:18]

Ten years later to this village[00:01:34]

Came a stranger no one knew[00:01:38]

His steps were halt and ragged clothes he wore[00:01:41]

The little children laughed at him[00:01:48]

As down the lane he trod[00:01:51]

At last he stopped before a cottage door[00:01:54]

He gently knocked no sound he heard[00:02:00]

He thought "Can she be dead "[00:02:04]

But then he heard a voice well known to him[00:02:07]

Was his mother's voice but her hair had silvered[00:02:13]

By the touch of time[00:02:17]

And she said "Thank God they've sent me home my Jim"[00:02:19]

If sickness overtakes you[00:02:26]

Or old companions shake you[00:02:29]

As through this world you wander all alone[00:02:32]

When friends you haven't any[00:02:39]

In your pocket not a penny[00:02:42]

There's a mother always awaiting you at home[00:02:45]
