Emmylou Harris Calling My Children Home written by Doyle Lawson

Charles Waller

Robert Yates

lyrics from http://home.wxs.nl/~jsomers/songs.htm

D

Those lives were mine to love and cherish

A

To guard and guide along life's way

D

Oh God forbid that one should perish

A D

That one alas should go astray

D

Back in the years with all together

A

Around the place we'd romp and play

D

So lonely now I oft' times wonder

A D

Oh will they come back home some day

D

I'm lonesome for my precious children

A

They live so far away

D A D

Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day

D

I gave my all for my dear children

A D

Their problems still with love I share, I'd brave life's storm, defy

the tempest

A D

To bring them home from anywhere

D

A

I lived my life my love I gave them, to guide them through this world

of strife,

D

I hope and pray we'll live together

A D

In that great glad here after life

D

I'm lonesome for my precious children

A

They live so far away

D A D

Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day
