Waiting For My Child To Come Home - Live

[00:12.74] I was talking to a lady a few days ago
[00:22.58] And these are the words she said:
[00:32.66] "If you see my child somewhere
[00:37.43] As you journey here and there
[00:42.73] Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home"
[00:53.38] I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[01:03.95] I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[01:14.96] If he can't come home
[01:20.08] Could he please send me a letter
[01:25.12] A letter would mean so much to me
[01:35.31] Oh my child may be somewhere on his sick bed
[01:45.81] With no one to rub his aching head
[01:56.14] Oh my child may be somewhere in some lonely jail
[02:06.46] With no one there to go his bail
[02:16.92] If I only knew what town my child was in
[02:27.52] I'll be there on that early morning train
[02:37.63] And no matter what the crime
[02:42.01] Lord, you know that this child is mine
[02:47.17] That's why I'd be waiting for my child to come home
[02:57.92] I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[03:08.13] I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[03:18.73] If he can't come home
[03:23.48] Could he please send me a letter
[03:28.95] A letter would mean so much to me
[03:38.89] I am waiting and waiting
[03:44.04] I am waiting and waiting
[03:53.59] I am waiting for my child to come home
[04:18.07]
