[Gm] [Bb] Well this really is a bit of history now because Rod [Gm] and I haven't sung [Bb] together in so many years.
In fact, I think it's [F] 1965 [Gm] since we had the [Bb] steam packet that was the [Gm] last venture we [Bb] had together.
And this is the second time [Gm] ever that we've ever [Bb] recorded anything together.
Mother [Gm] ain't [Bb] dead, she's only [F] a sleeping, patiently waiting for Jesus [Bb] to come.
She [Gm] got so [Bb] sick last year in the winter,
[F] now she's patiently waiting [Gm]
for Jesus [Bb] to come.
Oh father's so sad, he's a missing old [Cm] mama, [F]
patiently waiting for Jesus [Bb] to come.
