Mother No Longer Awaits Me at Home (母亲不再在家中等我) - The Stanley Brothers[00:00:00]
Written by:RALPH STANLEY/CARTER STANLEY[00:00:00]
One night while the moon[00:00:09]
From heaven was shining[00:00:12]
My mother was praying[00:00:15]
For me to come home[00:00:18]
She asked her dear lord[00:00:22]
Watch o'er me out yonder[00:00:25]
To send me back home to never more roam[00:00:28]
When I left my old home[00:00:36]
Way back in the mountains[00:00:39]
I said I'd return with honor and fame[00:00:42]
But a young reckless heart turned[00:00:49]
Wrong at the crossroads[00:00:53]
And now as I go home I bring mother shame[00:00:55]
When I got to the place where[00:01:16]
I spent my childhood[00:01:20]
The silvery moon was shining so bright[00:01:22]
When I asked my dear friends[00:01:29]
To tell me of mother[00:01:32]
They said she was called on to heaven last night[00:01:35]
She told them of how[00:01:43]
She was longing to see me[00:01:46]
How lonely her home since[00:01:49]
I went away[00:01:53]
Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness[00:01:56]
And meet mother there in heaven some day[00:02:02]
Mother has gone to live with the angels[00:02:11]
Her soul is at rest around[00:02:17]
The great throne[00:02:20]
Now I have no one left here to advise me[00:02:23]
For mother no longer awaits me at home[00:02:30]
