歌曲名 There s A Mother Always Waiting At Home

歌手名 Johnny Cash

So you're going to leave the old home Jim

Today you're going away

So you're going among the city folks to dwell

So spoke a kind old mother

To her boy one summer day

If your mind's made up that way I wish you well

The old home will be lonesome

We'll miss you when you go

The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh

But if you get in trouble Jim

Just write and let us know

She spoke these words and then she said goodbye

If sickness overtakes you

Or old companions shake you

As through this world you wander all alone

When friends you haven't any

In your pocket not a penny

There's a mother always awaiting you at home

Ten years later to this village

Came a stranger no one knew

His steps were halt and ragged clothes he wore

The little children laughed at him

As down the lane he trod

At last he stopped before a cottage door

He gently knocked no sound he heard

He thought Can she be dead

But then he heard a voice well known to him

Was his mother's voice but her hair had silvered

By the touch of time

And she said Thank God they've sent me home my Jim

If sickness overtakes you

Or old companions shake you

As through this world you wander all alone

When friends you haven't any

In your pocket not a penny

There's a mother always awaiting you at home
