Lyrics for Your Mother Still Prays For You Jack by Carter Family:
| | | Artist: | Carter Family |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Your Mother Still Prays For You Jack | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 66 | | | | Lyrics: | The night was dark and stormy
The wind was howling wild
As an aged mother gazed upon
The
portrait of her child
As she gazed on the baby's features
That once filled her heart with
joy
He's now in this wild world roaming
That mother's long lost boy
Your mother
still prays for you, Jack
Your mother still prays for you
In a home far over the
ocean
Your mother still prays for you
At last there came a letter
It was deeply
edged in black
From a comrade long forgotten
Who still remembered Jack
They have lain
your dear old mother
In a grave so dark and cold
And she wants her boy who is roaming
To
meet her on the streets of gold
His stony heart was broken
As he thought of his mother
dear
And in spite of his comrades laughing
He could not keep back his tears
In spite of
the great temptations
That once filled his heart with tears
So he started for Heaven that
evening
As sweetly the people did sing | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
