Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr.

NTRO: [G7] [C] ...[C7] (Notes to last line of first verse)

CHORUS

[F] Take this message to my [C] mother

It will fill her heart with [G7] joy

[C] Tell her that I've met my [G7] Saviour

God has saved her wand'ring [C] boy.

[C] The tears and sorrow I have [G7] caused her

How I wish I could re-[C] pay

But tell her I'll be waiting [G7] for her

We'll meet in heaven some glad [C] day. ... [C7]

How she cried when I left her

I know it filled her heart with pain

She said, "Son, please don't leave me

For we may never meet again."

CHORUS

Years have passed since that parting

But I know she waits and prays

Soon I'll cross that dark river

Please let her know that I was saved.

CHORUS
