Mother And Daddy Are Gone
Key of G
Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play alongVerse
The night Mother died it broke my Daddy’s heart In anguish he bowed his gray head And the pitiful way he kept calling her name I can’t believe my angel is dead
Verse
The sparkle that once shined in my Daddy’s eyes And the spring he once had in his walk Was replaced with a far away look on his face As often of my sweet Mother we’d talk
Verse
Then the night finally came I was called to his side On his face was a heavenly smile Then he reached for my hand and said Son with a smile In heaven I’ll see our sweet angel tonight
