Mother No Longer Awaits Me At Home - The Stanley Brothers
Written by：RALPH STANLEY/CARTER STANLEY
One night while the moon
From heaven was shining
My mother was praying
For me to come home
She asked her dear lord
Watch o'er me out yonder
To send me back home to never more roam
When I left my old home
Way back in the mountains
I said I'd return with honor and fame
But a young reckless heart turned
Wrong at the crossroads
And now as I go home I bring mother shame
When I got to the place where
I spent my childhood
The silvery moon was shining so bright
When I asked my dear friends
To tell me of mother
They said she was called on to heaven last night
She told them of how
She was longing to see me
How lonely her home since
I went away
Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness
And meet mother there in heaven some day
Mother has gone to live with the angels
Her soul is at rest around
The great throne
Now I have no one left here to advise me
For mother no longer awaits me at home
