A Vision of Mother
(Carter Stanley - Ralph Stanley)
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
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...
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
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...
