Go On Ahead and Go Home Lyrics

Go on ahead and go home
Go on ahead and go home
Boy, you've done your best
Time you took your rest in the sheltering loam

Go on ahead and go home
Go on ahead and go home
The spirits of the dead will meet you up ahead
You won't be alone

Go let your mama see you smile
Go let your mama see you smile
Mama's going to wait however long it takes
But it's sure been awhile

Go let your mama see you smile
Go let your mama see you smile
She's standing in the sun saying
"Boy, your works been done a long, long mile"

Down where the cotton grows tall
Down where the cotton grows tall
Where the bramble rose and blue hydrangea grows
Beside the old mare's stall

Down where the cotton grows tall
Down where the cotton grows tall
And a fragrant delta breeze shakes the cypress trees
Down deep in the Fall

In the deep of the night, In the deep of the night
By the river so still where sorrows come to heal
And wrongs are made right
Down in the deep of the night
In the deep of the night
On a creaking porch swing, the ancient ones sing
"Everything is alright"
