Old Mission Road Lyrics

Oh I wish I had grown
With my mother back home
Cause I miss her sweet kisses and her smile

And when I'm alone
I wish I had known
My mother for just a while

Won't you walk with me, darling
Just a couple of miles
Won't you tell me the stories
Of when I was a child
I'd be so happy
As the stories unfold
Won't you walk with me, darling
Down that old mission road

Oh I wish I'd gone fishing
With my father, I'm still missing
And the touch of his strong, gentle hands

Now I'm gone from the mission
Cause someone's decision
Kept me away from that man

Won't you walk with me, darling
Just a couple of miles
Won't you tell me the storiеs Of when I was a child

I'd be so happy
As the storiеs unfold
Won't you walk with me, darling
Down that old mission road

[Instrumental Break]

So kiss your mother goodnight
Hold your father tight
And keep your family near
Or else one day they might
Slowly fade out of sight
Just reflections in those tears

Won't you walk with me, darling
Just a couple of miles
Won't you tell me the stories
Of when I was a child

I'd be so happy
As the stories unfold
Won't you walk with me, darling
Down that old mission road

Won't you walk with me, darling
Down that old mission road
