I've got a mother gone home
I've got a mother gone home
I've got a mother gone home
Oh, I've got a mother gone home
Yes, I want to go to glory
Yes, I want to meet her there
Yes, I want to meet her surely
Oh, yes, I want to meet her surely
Well, once I had a mother
Once walked and talked with me
Well, death has called her to heaven
When death came to her door
She said, child, I must go
Love, I hate to leave you here
God knows, you know, I want to go to glory,
I want to meet her there.
Well, well, child, I won't,
Oh, yes, I won't, to me assuredly
