Hank Williams - I Heard My Mother Praying For Me lyrics

Last night as I lay down to sleep I heard someone began to weep Then I got up just to see I heard my mother praying for me She was kneeling by her bed And tears of pain were being shed She said, "Dear God, please hear my plea" I heard my mother praying for me I got my Bible and sat down And in the Holy Book I found The way to end this misery Thank God, my mother prayed for me I read it on into the night And soon began to see the light And now at last my soul is free Thank God, my mother prayed for me
