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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
