《Mother No Longer Awaits Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Mother No Longer Awaits Me - The Stanley Brothers

[00:00:08] One night while the moon from heaven was shining

[00:00:16] My mother was praying for me to come home

[00:00:23] She asked her dear lord watch o'er me out yonder

[00:00:31] To send me back home to never more roam

[00:00:39] When I left my old home way back in the mountains

[00:00:46] I said I'd return with honor and fame

[00:00:54] But a young reckless heart turned wrong at the crossroads

[00:01:02] And now as I go home I bring mother shame

[00:01:25] When I got to the place where I spent my childhood

[00:01:32] The silvery moon was shining so bright

[00:01:40] When I asked my dear friends to tell me of mother

[00:01:47] They said she was called on to heaven last night

[00:01:55] She told them of how she was longing to see me

[00:02:03] How lonely her home since I went away

[00:02:10] Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness

[00:02:18] And meet mother there in heaven some day

[00:02:26] Mother has gone to live with the angels

[00:02:33] Her soul is at rest around the great throne

[00:02:41] Now I have no one left here to advise me

[00:02:49] For mother no longer awaits me at home
