A Mother's Last Word To Her Daughter Lyrics

A Mother's Last Word To Her Daughter

Bye and bye I'm going to see the King
Bye and bye I'm going to see the King
Bye and bye I'm going to see the King
Lord, I don't mind dying, 'cause I'm a child of God

Oh, mother she called her daughter to her dying bed
She placed her hand upon her daughter's head
Grasped her tightly in her arms
Saying, "I will not be with you very long."

Oh, daughter, oh God is soon gonna call me home.
But you must remember when I'm dead and gone
I must leave you in this old world alone
But you know that God will guide you safely on

ch

Oh daughter, will you try to seek the safeset way? For night and day for you I've always prayed
Now you know you have no right to grieve
For you knew some old day that I must leave

ch

Oh, daughter, you may do things that you can consider
no harm
But God in Heaven do know that you are wrong
You better let dances, card parties, all go by
So that you can be able to gain your home on high

Oh, daughter she was standing with tears rolling down
her cheek
SHe's trembing in her voice whenever she did speak
Sayin', "No more dances. mother, and no more playin'
cards.
From this day on I shall serve my God."

Oh, ch
