A Vision of Mother Songtext

von Ricky Skaggs

(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...
