《I Have an Aged Mother》歌词

[00:00:00] I Have An Aged Mother - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:18] Last night while I lay sleeping

[00:00:22] Last night while in a dream

[00:00:26] I saw my dear old mother

[00:00:31] Down by a rippling stream

[00:00:35] Don't ask me why I'm weeping

[00:00:39] Don't ask me why I pray

[00:00:43] For I've an aged mother

[00:00:48] Ten thousand miles away

[00:01:01] A letter here from sister dear

[00:01:05] Come home we're all alone

[00:01:09] Dear mother's slowly fading

[00:01:14] She can't be with us long

[00:01:18] Don't ask me why I'm weeping

[00:01:22] Don't ask me why I pray

[00:01:26] I've a dear old mother dying

[00:01:31] Ten thousand miles away

[00:01:36] Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay

[00:01:42] Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay

[00:01:49] Out in the cold world

[00:01:53] Long ways from home

[00:01:59] I'm drawing near the old home

[00:02:03] Dear sister's at the gate

[00:02:07] She's leading me through the doorway

[00:02:11] Oh brother you've come too late

[00:02:15] Oh lead me to the casket

[00:02:20] Throw back the linen so fine

[00:02:24] That I may kiss her pale white lips

[00:02:28] For I know they'll never kiss mine

[00:02:40] I see the pale moon shining

[00:02:45] On mother's white tombstone

[00:02:49] The rosebuds 'round them twining

[00:02:53] Are just like me alone

[00:02:57] Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay

[00:03:03] Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay

[00:03:10] Out in the cold world

[00:03:14] Left all alone
