Harry Belafonte - Take My Mother Home

I think I heard him say
When he was struggling up the hill
I think I heard him say
Take my mother home

Then I'll die easy
Take my mother home
Then I'll die easy
Take my mother home

I think I heard him say
When they was raffling off his clothes
I think I heard him say
Take my mother home

Then I'll die easy
Take my mother home
I'll die so easy
Take my mother home

I think I heard him cry
When they was nailing in the nails
I think I heard him cry
Take my mother home

I'll die this death on Calvary
Ain't gonna die no more
I'll die on Calvary
Ain't gonna die no more

Ain't gonna die no more

I think I heard him say
When he was giving up the ghost
I think I heard him say
Please, take my mother home

Please, take my mother home.
