That's right, Bert!
Here's another "Mother Song" as done on "Gospel Songs by The Carter Family in Texas, Volume 3" and also done by Suzanne Thomas of Dry Branch Fire Squad:
Just a Few More Days
As Done by The Carter Family
G
Not so long ago one morning
C G
Mother called me to her bed
Then she threw her arms around me
D7
Listen to the words she said:
G
Darling I am going to leave you
C G
But you'll not be left alone
Jesus will protect and shield you
D7 G
After he has carried me home.
(Chorus)
Just a few more days of sorrow
Just a few more days of pain
Just a few more days of cloud'ness
Just a few more days of rain
Then I'm going to live with Jesus
He has got a home prepared
Then I'll join the holy angels
Mother will be waiting there.
Sometimes I'm sorely tempted
Sometimes I am sorely tired
But to overcome I'm trying
Taking Jesus as my guide
Oh, sometimes the past seems rugged
But it only makes me praise
And I know if I keep trying
I'll see my mother some sweet day.
