Mother Went a Walkin' - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

Shall we gather at the river that flows by the throne of God[00:00:02]

The church doors opened one Sunday in a little country town[00:00:15]

The people all were silent in the rain that misted down[00:00:21]

And an old gray haired granddad his shoulders stooped with pain[00:00:26]

Was holdin' fast a little boy who kept cryin' in the rain[00:00:31]

And in the dim candlelight within a casket lay so still[00:00:36]

That soon would lie beneath the earth up at the top of the hill[00:00:42]

The little boy kept askin' in a low and plaintive tone[00:00:47]

What's wrong with mommy grandpa won't she be comin' home[00:00:53]

It's awful lonesome grandpa since daddy went away[00:00:58]

And mommy's all the reason why I'm happy every day[00:01:02]

Wouldn't she feel better grandpa if I layed down by her side[00:01:07]

The old man turned and faced him and with these words replied[00:01:13]

Mother went a walkin' son away up in the sky[00:01:20]

Along the brook that winds among the stars up there on high[00:01:26]

And down the valley where the sun goes home at night to sleep[00:01:31]

Mother went a walkin' son she wouldn't want us to weep[00:01:36]

The boy didn't seem to understand just where his mom had gone[00:01:43]

He couldn't realize that now she wouldn't be comin' home[00:01:48]

He saw the rain on grandpa's face he didn't know he cried[00:01:53]

And of course he couldn't hear the words that grandpa said inside[00:01:59]

Mother went a walkin' son up yonder in the sky[00:02:07]

And all that we can do down here son is bow our heads and cry[00:02:14]

She's gone to meet your daddy son and take him by the hand[00:02:21]

Yes mother went a walkin' son in god's great meadowland[00:02:27]
