Letra da Música Mother's Last Word to Her Son de Washington Phillips

I never can forget the day
When my dear Mother did sweetly say
"You are leavin', my darling boy
You always have been your mother's joy"

Now as you leave in this world to roam
You may not be able to get back home
But remember Jesus, who lives on high
And is watchin' over you with a mighty eye

The world is so full of old sin and woe
And many sorrows everywhere you go
But remember Jesus, who's everywhere
You get in trouble now, he'll meet you there

If you'll bow down before his face
And trust in him for his saving grace, now
And you have a burden, he'll make them light
And he sure will guide you all in the right

Now when I think of my Mother dear
How often she did, and try to cheer
My wandering mind, whilst going astray
By saying, "Son, accept the way"
