Ricky Skaggs "A Vision of Mother" |
(Carter Stanley - Ralph Stanley) Oft' my thoughts drift back to childhood To the time when I was free As I played before the fireside 'Round my darling mother's knee. There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me. --- Instrumental --- Then one day our mother left us Daddy said she'd gone to rest I remember how she loved me As she clutched me to her breast. There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me. --- Instrumental --- Some sweet day I'll meet you mother Your little boy is commin' home To see you as in days of childhood The one you loved and left alone. There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw Mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
