Lyrics Your Mother Still Prays (For You Jack) - The Carter Family
The
night
was
dark
and
stormy
The
wind
was
howling
wild
As
an
aged
mother
gazed
upon
The
portrait
of
her
child
As
she
gazed
on
the
baby's
features
That
once
filled
her
heart
with
joy
He's
now
in
this
wild
world
roaming
That
mother's
long
lost
boy
Your
mother
still
prays
for
you,
Jack
Your
mother
still
prays
for
you
In
a
home
far
over
the
ocean
Your
mother
still
prays
for
you
At
last
there
came
a
letter
It
was
deeply
edged
in
black
From
a
comrade
long
forgotten
Who
still
remembered
Jack
They
have
lain
your
dear
old
mother
In
a
grave
so
dark
and
cold
And
she
wants
her
boy
who
is
roaming
To
meet
her
on
the
streets
of
gold
His
stony
heart
was
broken
As
he
thought
of
his
mother
dear
And
in
spite
of
his
comrades
laughing
He
could
not
keep
back
his
tears
In
spite
of
the
great
temptations
That
once
filled
his
heart
with
tears
So
he
started
for
Heaven
that
evening
As
sweetly
the
people
did
sing
