I Can See Everybody's Mother (But I Can't See Mine) Songtext
von The Blind Boys of Alabama

I can see everybody′s mother
Lord, I can't see mine
I can see everybody′s mother
Lord, I can't see mine

Simple dead has come along
Taking my darling mother
Taking my mother home

I can see everybody's mother
Lord, I can′t see mine
I wonder, can I get a witness here?


I remember kneeling
Down by my mother′s side
I was nothing but a little boy
When my mother died

But I got to thinking
That I was losing
I was loosing my only friend
Oh, how much is it to you

It almost, almost broke my heart
To see my darling mother
My mother had to part

I can see everybody's mother
Can′t see mine
Can't see mine
