[00:00.00]Waiting for My Child to Come Home - Mavis Staples/Patty Griffin
[00:12.17]I was talking to a lady a few days ago
[00:21.82]And these are the words she said
[00:30.61]If you see my child somewhere as you journey here and there
[00:40.32]Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home
[00:49.82]I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[00:58.79]I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come
[01:08.34]If you can't come home will you please send me a letter
[01:17.78]A letter would mean so much to me yes it will
[01:27.21]Lord my child may be somewhere on his sick bed Lord
[01:36.78]With no one there to rub his aching head
[01:45.97]Lord my child in somewhere in some lonely jail Lord
[01:58.61]With no one there to post his bail
[02:05.69]I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[02:14.05]I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come
[02:23.42]If you can't come home will you please send me a letter
[02:32.37]A letter would mean so much to me yes it will
[02:49.44]I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
[02:57.02]I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come
[03:05.85]If you can't come home will you please send me a letter
[03:12.57]A letter would mean so much to me yes it will
