A Mother's Last Word to Her Daughter

A Mother's Last Word to Her Daughter - Washington Phillips

Written by：Washington Phillips

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Lord I don't mind dying 'cause I'm a child of God

Oh mother she called her daughter to her dying bed

She placed her hand upon her daughter's head

Grasped her tightly in her arms

Saying I will not be with you very long

Oh daughter oh God is soon gonna call me home

But you must remember when I'm dead and gone

I must leave you in this old world alone

But you know that God will guide you safely on

Oh bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Lord I don't mind dying 'cause I'm a child of God

Oh daughter will you try to seek the safeset way

For night and day for you I've always prayed

Now you know you have no right to grieve

For you knew some old day that I must leave

Oh bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Lord I don't mind dying 'cause I'm a child of God

Oh daughter you may do things that you can consider no harm

But God in Heaven do know that you are wrong

You better let dances card parties all go by

So that you can be able to gain your home on high

Oh daughter she was standing with tears rolling down her cheek

She's trembing in her voice whenever she did speak

Sayin' No more dances mother and no more playin' cards

From this day on I shall serve my God

Oh bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King

Lord I don't mind dying 'cause I'm a child of God
