Lyrics: I think I heard him say when he was struggling up the hill I think I heard him say, take my mother home Then I'll die easy, take my mother home I'll die so easy, take my mother home I think I heard him say, when they was raffling off his clothes I think I heard him say, take my mother home I think I heard him cry when they was nailing in the nails I think I heard him cry, take my mother home I'll die this death on Calvary, ain't gonna die no more I'll die on Calvary, ain't gonna die no more Ain't gonna die no more I think I heard him say, when he was giving up the ghost I think I heard him say, please, take my mother home Please, take my mother home |
