heard my mother weeping - billy strings lyrics
the big court room was crowded while the jury heard my plea
i said, sir i’m not guilty of the crime you’re accusing me
i guess no one believed me for they only turned away
to give the judge their verdict while i bowed my head and prayed
i heard my mother weeping when the judge said, guilty son
i’ll have to give you life now for this crime that you have done
she cried, don’t take my darlin’ he mеans the world to me
he’s all i havе to live for, i pray you’ll set him free
his father was a drunkard, went away left us alone
i worked to earn a living and to raise our darling son
now if you take him from me his face no more i’ll see
just put your son in his place, his mother, here with me
the judge sat there with head bowed, at first did not reply
and then i saw him brushing the teardrops from his eyes
he motioned to the jury, this sentence can’t be done
god bless you darlin’ mother i still love you and my son
