Mother

Woe to me

I know not what I do

The thorns I carry

Touch softer than the truth

Sing for me

I know not where to go

The road ahead of me

Is but the path I know

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Troubles of the world, troubles of the world

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Come home to me, my mother

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

The troubles of the world, the troubles of the world

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Come home to me, my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

Early in the morning

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

Early in the morning

Pray for me

I know not what I've done

And so I carry

The stones of where I'm from

Cry for me

I know not who I am

The future only leads

Me back where I began

The truth will only lead

Me back to where I am

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Troubles of the world, troubles of the world

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Come home to me, my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

Early in the morning

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

I'm gon' to meet my mother

Early in the morning

From the days I won

From the road I've come

Soon I will be done

From the endless one

Of golden sun

Soon I will be done

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Troubles of the world, troubles of the world

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Come home to me, my mother

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

The troubles of the world, the troubles of the world

Soon we'll be done with the troubles of the world

Come home to me, my mother

Early in the morning

Early in the morning
