《There’s A Mother Always Waiting At Home》歌词

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

[00:01:24] "So you're going to leave the old home Jim

[00:01:28] Today you're going away

[00:01:32] So you're going among the city folks to dwell"

[00:01:38] So spoke a kind old mother

[00:01:42] To her boy one summer day

[00:01:45] "If your mind's made up that way I wish you well

[00:01:53] The old home will be lonesome

[00:01:56] We'll miss you when you go

[00:01:59] The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh

[00:02:06] But if you get in trouble Jim

[00:02:10] Just write and let us know"

[00:02:13] She spoke these words and then she said goodbye

[00:02:20] If sickness overtakes you

[00:02:23] Or old companions shake you

[00:02:27] As through this world you wander all alone

[00:02:34] When friends you haven't any

[00:02:37] In your pocket not a penny

[00:02:41] There's a mother always awaiting you at home

[00:02:47] Ten years later to this village

[00:02:51] Came a stranger no one knew

[00:02:55] His steps were halt and ragged clothes he wore

[00:03:02] The little children laughed at him

[00:03:06] As down the lane he trod

[00:03:09] At last he stopped before a cottage door

[00:03:16] He gently knocked no sound he heard

[00:03:19] He thought "Can she be dead "

[00:03:23] But then he heard a voice well known to him

[00:03:29] Was his mother's voice but her hair had silvered

[00:03:34] By the touch of time

[00:03:36] And she said "Thank God they've sent me home my Jim"

[00:03:44] If sickness overtakes you

[00:03:47] Or old companions shake you

[00:03:51] As through this world you wander all alone

[00:03:58] When friends you haven't any

[00:04:01] In your pocket not a penny

[00:04:04] There's a mother always awaiting you at home
