[Intro]
Well, this really is a bit of history now because... Rod and I haven't sung together in, uh, so many years. In fact, I think it's, uh... 1965 since we had the Steam Packet, that was the last venture we had together. This is the second time ever that we've ever recorded anything together
[Chorus]
Mother ain't dead
She's only a-sleepin'
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
[Verse 1]
She got so sick
Last year in the winter
Now shе's patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
[Verse 2]
Oh, fathеr's so sad
He's a-missin' ol' momma
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
(play it there)
[Verse 3]
The birds will be there
All is sweet in their spring time
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
[Chorus]
Mother ain't dead
She's only a-sleepin'
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
Patiently waitin' for Jesus to come
