The Blind Boys Of Alabama - Almost Home

Let My Mother Live

Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Don't leave me in a Godforsaken world all alone
Let my mother live 'til I get grown

I was just a boy when my daddy died
He got killed down in the mine in 1945
I remember people talkin' while my momma cried
I was just a boy when my daddy died

Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Don't leave me in a Godforsaken world all alone
Let my mother live 'til I get grown

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

The Lord puts nothing on you that you can't bear
When the burdens that you carry just don't seem fair
Heartaches and misery are everywhere
The Lord puts nothing on you that you can't bear

Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Let my mother live 'til I get grown
Don't leave me in the Godforsaken world all alone
Let my mother live (ooh)
Let my mother live (ooh)
Let my mother live 'til I get grown (ooh)
