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