Mother Went A Walkin' Recorded by Jim Reeves Written by Tom Bearden and Bob Lowery
C G7 C (Shall we gather at the river that flows by the throne of God)
The church doors opened one Sunday in a little country town G7 C The people all were silent in the rain that misted down
And an old gray-haired granddad his shoulders stooped with pain G7 C Was holdin' fast a little boy who kept cryin' in the rain
And in the dim candlelight within a casket lay so still G7 C That soon would lie beneath the earth up at the top of the hill
The little boy kept askin' in a low and plaintive tone G7 C What's wrong with mommy grandpa won't she be comin' home
It's awful lonesome grandpa since daddy went away G7 C And mommy's all the reason why I'm happy every day
Wouldn't she feel better grandpa if I laid down by her side G7 C The old man turned and faced him and with these words replied
Mother went a walkin' son way up in the sky G7 C Along the brook that winds among the stars up there on high
And down the valley where the sun goes home at night to sleep G7 C Mother went a-walkin' son she wouldn't want us to weep
The boy didn't seem to understand just where his mom had gone G7 C He couldn't realize that now she wouldn't be comin' home
He saw the rain on grandpa's face he didn't know he cried G7 C And of course he couldn't hear the words that grandpa said inside
Mother went a-walkin' son up yonder in the sky G7 C And all that we can do down here son is bow our heads and cry
G7 C She's gone to meet your daddy son and take him by the hand G7 C Yes mother went a-walkin' son in God's great meadowland
