Waiting For My Child (Live) - Mavis Staples
I was talking to a lady just a few days ago
And these are the words she said
If you see my child somewhere
As you journey here and there
Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home
I am waiting and waiting for my child to come
I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come
If you can't come home
Could you please send me a letter
A letter would mean so much to me
Oh my child may be somewhere
On his sick bed
With no one no one there to rub his aching head
Oh my child may be somewhere
In some lonely jail
With no one no one there to go his bail
I am waiting waiting for my child to come
I am waiting waiting for my child to come
If he can't come home
Could he please send me a letter
A letter would mean so much to me
I am waiting waiting for my child to come
I am waiting waiting for my child to come
If he can't come home
Could he please send me a letter
A letter would mean so much to me
Yes it's good
You know the letter
Loog with me so much to me
As see the letter would mean so much to me
