I went down by an old country church, and as he knelt there on the ground, and as he reached his mother s grave
Her son is sleeping beside her today, her son is sleeping beside her today
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray, and i know that in heaven his mother he ll see, and i know that in heaven his mother he ll see
and as he reached his mother s grave
And as he staggered through the gate, i saw that drunkard kneel and pray, lord have mercy on me was the kneeling drunkard s plea
Lord have mercy on me was the kneeling drunkard s plea, i saw the drunkard stagger and lurch
Lord have mercy on me was the kneeling drunkard s plea, i saw the drunkard stagger and lurch Louvin, and as he knelt there on the ground
And as he knelt there on the ground, bring my darling boy to me was his mother s dying plea, i know that god in heaven looked down
and as he staggered through the gate
And i know that in heaven his mother he ll see, i went down by an old country church The, three years have passed since she went away
and as he reached his mother s grave
Her son is sleeping beside her today, and as he staggered through the gate
I went down by an old country church, and as he reached his mother s grave, for god has heard that drunkard s plea
and as he knelt there on the ground
I saw that drunkard kneel and pray, i know that god in heaven looked down, three years have passed since she went away
I know that god in heaven looked down, bring my darling boy to me was his mother s dying plea
A lassie came just one day too late, lord have mercy on me was the kneeling drunkard s plea
and as he staggered through the gate

three years have passed since she went away
A lassie came just one day too late, bring my darling boy to me was his mother s dying plea Louvin, and as he reached his mother s grave

I know that god in heaven looked down, i saw that drunkard kneel and pray
I went down by an old country church, her son is sleeping beside her today, i saw that drunkard kneel and pray

and as he staggered through the gate
For god has heard that drunkard s plea, three years have passed since she went away, three years have passed since she went away
