I Saw Mother With God Last Night Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

I saw mom with God last night
I was mad when God took you, from me
But last night I could plainly see
That He saved you from lots of misery

A smile upon your face told me
You were happy as you could be
I′m a gonna ask God if He'll save a place for me


Mother, dear sweet precious mother, mother
(Sweet precious mother)
I saw you with God last night
He was holdin′ to your hand
Showin' you around in the Promised Land
I saw you with God last night

Gonna write two letters to the heaven's blue
One to God, and one to you
I′m a gonna thank Him for bein′ so nice to you

I've been cryin′ since you went away
But not one tear I've shed today
′Cause I know now you're happy up there
In the heaven′s blue


Mother, dear sweet precious mother, mother
(Sweet precious mother)
I saw you with God last night
He was holdin' to your hand
Showin' you around in the Promised Land
I saw you with God last night
