MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER--AGNES BUIE REYNOLDS--4/29/1924--12/21-2000

MY HEART IS THERE WITH YOU

I WENT BY THE OLD HOUSE TODAY MAMA, I FELT I NEEDED TO PASS BY
BUT JUST LOOKING AT THE OLD HOUSE, MADE ME START TO CRY.

STRANGERS LIVE INSIDE THAT PLACE, THAT YOU ONCE CALLED HOME
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, I FELT SO ALL ALONE

I REALLY MISS YOU SO MUCH MAMA, SOMEDAY'S  IT'S HARD TO GO ON.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT BEEN 8 YEARS, SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN GONE.

IF HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, THEN MY HEART IS THERE WITH YOU.
WITHOUT YOU HERE WITH ME MAMA ,I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHEN I PASSED BY THE OLD HOUSE, WHERE YOU USED TO ONCE RESIDE.
I THOUGHT OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES, THAT WE USED TO HAVE INSIDE.

FOLKS SAY YOU CAN NEVER GO HOME AGAIN, BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.
BECAUSE ONEDAY I WILL BE HOME AGAIN, IN HEAVEN THERE WITH YOU.
