pat campbell Miscellaneous mother went a walking The church doors opened one Sunday In a little country town, The people all were silent And that rain just misted down. An old grey haired grandad His shoulders stooped with pain, Was holding fast a little boy Who kept crying in the rain. And in the dim candlelight within A casket lay so still, But soon would lie beneath thee earth Up at the top of the hill. The little boy kept askin In a low and plaintive tone, Whats wrong with mommy grandpa Wont she be comin home? Oh it its awful lonesome grandpa Since my daddy went away, An mommys all the reason Why Im happy every day. Eh wo wouldnt she feel better grandpa If I lay down by her side, Thee old man turned an faced him An with these words he replied. Mother went a walkin son way up in the sky Along the brook that winds among the stars Up there on high, an down the valley Where the sun goes home at night to sleep Your mother went a walkin son She wouldnt want us to weep. But the boy just didnt seem to understand Just where his mom had gone An he couldnt realize that now She wouldnt be comin home. He saw the rain on grandpas face She didnt know he cried, Of course he couldnt hear the words His grandpa said inside. Your mother went a walkin son Up yonder in the sky An all that we can do down here son Is bow our heads an cry, Shes gone to meet your daddy son An take him by the hand, Yes your mothers went a walkin son In gods great meadowland. |
