Mother Hold Me Tight Songtext

von Roy Acuff

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Mother Hold Me Tight" von Roy Acuff erzählt eine tragische Geschichte, die von einem schrecklichen Unfall ...

With her little rag doll clutched in her arms
She was crossing the street realizing no harm
And I was the driver, It's sad but it's true
Who killed that little girl, It could happen to you
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading "Mother Hold Me Tight"
No charges were placed against me
Unavoidable the report read
I did my best to stop
But the little girl she's dead
God knows I'd gladly take her place if I only could
But that's just wishful thinking and really does no good
No one will ever know, My prayer I can't repeat
As I knelt beside that little girl
As she died there in the street
My life has been so darkened, At night I cannot sleep
For I dream about the little girl
I killed there in the street
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading "Mother Hold Me Tight"
