Verse 1

Summertime has come and gone

The leaves are slowly falling

The other day my mother heard

The voice of Jesus calling

He said come home with me my child

I'll take away your strife

Mama went to sleep  on this side

And woke up in paradise



Chorus

Oh but how I miss her so

More than you'll ever know

How I miss her so

More than you'll ever know

How I miss her so

More than you'll ever know



Verse 2

When I was a little boy

Mama rocked me in her arms

She protected me from danger

And she kept me safe and warm

But mama is not here now

And I'm standing by myself

But as long as I've got Jesus

I don't need nobody else



Chorus

Oh but how I miss her so

More than you'll ever know

How I miss her so

More than you'll ever know

I miss her so

More than you'll ever know
