From: rickl1@ix.netcom.com 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 From Emmylou Harris "At The Ryman Label" Reprise Records 7599 26664-2 (1992) From Emmylou Harris "Spyboy" Eminent Records 1998 Zap Publishing Company(BMI) Fauquier Music(BMI)
