Emmylou Harris Calling My Children Home written by Doyle Lawson
Charles Waller
Robert Yates
lyrics from http://home.wxs.nl/~jsomers/songs.htm
D
Those lives were mine to love and cherish
A
To guard and guide along life's way
D
Oh God forbid that one should perish
A D
That one alas should go astray
D
Back in the years with all together
A
Around the place we'd romp and play
D
So lonely now I oft' times wonder
A D
Oh will they come back home some day
D
I'm lonesome for my precious children
A
They live so far away
D A D
Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day
D
I gave my all for my dear children
A D
Their problems still with love I share, I'd brave life's storm, defy
the tempest
A D
To bring them home from anywhere
D
A
I lived my life my love I gave them, to guide them through this world
of strife,
D
I hope and pray we'll live together
A D
In that great glad here after life
D
I'm lonesome for my precious children
A
They live so far away
D A D
Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day
