I was talking to a lady a few days ago |
|
And these are the words she said |
|
If you see my child somewhere |
|
As you journey here and there |
|
Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home |
|
I am waiting and waiting for my child to come |
|
I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come |
|
If you can't come home |
|
Could you please send me a letter |
|
A letter would mean so much to me |
|
Oh my child may be somewhere |
|
On his sick bed |
|
With no one there to rub his aching head |
|
Oh my child may be somewhere |
|
In some lonely jail |
|
With no one there to go his bail |
|
If I only knew what town my child was in |
|
I'll be there on that early morning train |
|
And no matter what's crime |
|
Lord you know that this child is mine |
|
That's why |
|
I'd be waiting for my child to come home |
|
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come |
|
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come |
|
If he can't come home |
|
Could he please send me a letter |
|
A letter would mean so much to me |
|
I am waiting, waiting |
|
I am waiting and waiting |
|
I am waiting for my child to come home |
