I saw mom with God last night
I was mad when God took you from me but last night I could plainly see
That he saved you from lots of misery
A smile upon your face told me you were happy as you could be
I'm a gonna ask God if he'll save a place for me
Mother dear sweet precious mother mother (sweet precious mother)
I saw you with God last night
He was holding to your hand showin' you around in the Promised Land
I saw you with God last night
[ dobro ]
Gonna write two letters to the heaven's blue one to God and one to you
I'm a gonna thank him for bein' so nice to you
I've been cryin' since you went away but not one tear I've she'd today
Cause I know now you're happy up there in the heaven's blue
Mother dear sweet precious mother...
