Bluegrass Songs - Somebodys waiting for me

Somebody's waiting for me

               

 
In a noisy eastern city sat a lonely lad one night           
In a bar room where the wine began to flow From a table in the corner the young man slowly              
And he said it's getting late boys I must go                 
       
    For somebody's waiting for me         
    Someone who loves me I know           
    There's a light shining bright in the window  For somebody's waiting for me         
             
I suppose you have a sweetheart his companions jovially said 
If she's pretty we would like to see her too                 
If you'll only stop your teasing I will show her to you boys 
She's the only sweetheart that I ever knew 

                 
 * Refrain       
                 

                 
From an old brown leather pocketbook a picture he did take   
Of a gray-haired lady with a bowed-down head                 
She's my mother and my sweetheart and she waits for me tonight   So you see I told the truth boys when I said                
 * Refrain
