Hank Williams - The Blind Child's Prayer lyrics

Oh father tonight they say you are To wed another bride That you will hold her in your arms Where my dear mother died They say her name is Mary too The name my mother bore But Father is she kind and true Like the one we loved before And is her footstep soft and light Her voice so meek and mild And father do you think she'll love Your blind and helpless child Oh father do not bid me come To welcome your new made bride I could not greet her in the room Where my dear mother died But when I've cried myself to sleep As I so often do Into my chamber you may creep My new made mama and you He turned away to leave the room A joyful cry was given He turned about and he knew at last His blind child had gone to Heaven They buried her by her mother's side And erected a marble square And there on the tomb these words do read She'll not be blind up there
