The Last Look at Mother lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with H >> Hank Locklin Lyrics >> The Last Look at Mother

Of all the tragic scenes in life, there's one I can't forget
The memory of a little girl still lingers with me yet
the sad remarks I've heard her say we're more than I could stand
While she stood sadly pleading holding her daddy's hand

Let me have another look at mother, daddy please
oh let me have just one more look
her little heart was breaking through tears oh how she sighed
for one last look at mother, please daddy please she cried

She didn't seem to understand why mother had to leave
her blinding tears were falling oh how my heart did grieve
her little friends were standing by their hearts in sad despair

each time she called to mommy oh please don't leave me here

Her daddy slowly picked her up and whispered words to her
The sorrow he was hding was more than he could bear
she held him tightly in her arms and this to him did say
oh daddy we'll miss her will she come back some day

Let me have a nother look at mother, daddy please
oh let me have just one more look her little heart was breaking through tears oh how she cried
for one last look at mother when they closed her inside
