《There’s A Mother Always Waiting》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:59] If sickness overtakes you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:26] If sickness overtakes you

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

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

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

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

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