Five Blind Boys Of Alabama - Goodbye Mother lyrics

rate me

Goodbye, Mother, I'm sorry, sorry to my heart

So long, Mother, I'm sorry that we have to part

But you can look for me, won't you look for me?

I'll be home soon, Lord have mercy, Jesus

So long, Mother, I got tears, tears, tears are all in my eyes

Farewell, Mother, I run down and wave, wave my last goodbye

But you can look for me somewhere in glory

'Coz I'll be home soon, Lord have mercy, Jesus

I want you to just sleep on Mother

Please Ma, I want you to take your rest

Yes, I love you, Mother, but I believe God loves you best, oh Lord

But you can look for me somewhere in glory

'Coz I'll be home soon, Lord have mercy, Jesus

Just the other day, they tell me, Mother

They laid you, laid you in the new barren ground

Lord have mercy, I wasn't there when they laid your body down

Lord help your boy, but one thing I want you to do for me, Mother

I want you to look for me somewhere in glory, I'll be home soon
