I was talking to a lady a few days ago
|
And these are the words she said
|
If you see my child somewhere
|
As you journey here and there
|
Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home
|
|
I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
|
I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come
|
If you can't come home
|
Could you please send me a letter
|
A letter would mean so much to me
|
|
Oh my child may be somewhere
|
On his sick bed
|
With no one there to rub his aching head
|
|
Oh my child may be somewhere
|
In some lonely jail
|
With no one there to go his bail
|
If I only knew what town my child was in
|
I'll be there on that early morning train
|
And no matter what's crime
|
Lord you know that this child is mine
|
Thata€™s why I'd be waiting for my child to come home
|
|
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come
|
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come
|
If he can't come home
|
Could he please send me a letter
|
A letter would mean so much to me
|
|
I am waiting, waiting
|
I am waiting and waiting
|
I am waiting for my child to come home
|
