Mother No Longer Awaits Me - The Stanley Brothers

One night while the moon from heaven was shining

My mother was praying for me to come home

She asked her dear lord watch o'er me out yonder

To send me back home to never more roam

When I left my old home way back in the mountains

I said I'd return with honor and fame

But a young reckless heart turned wrong at the crossroads

And now as I go home I bring mother shame

When I got to the place where I spent my childhood

The silvery moon was shining so bright

When I asked my dear friends to tell me of mother

They said she was called on to heaven last night

She told them of how she was longing to see me

How lonely her home since I went away

Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness

And meet mother there in heaven some day

Mother has gone to live with the angels

Her soul is at rest around the great throne

Now I have no one left here to advise me

For mother no longer awaits me at home
