Heard My Mother Weeping

Lyrics
The big court room was crowded while the jury heard my plea I said, sir I'm not guilty of the crime you're accusing me I guess no one believed me for they only turned away To give the judge their verdict while I bowed my head and prayed I heard my mother weeping when the judge said, guilty son I'll have to give you life now for this crime that you have done She cried, don't take my darlin' he mеans the world to me He's all I havе to live for, I pray you'll set him free His father was a drunkard, went away left us alone I worked to earn a living and to raise our darling son Now if you take him from me his face no more I'll see Just put your son in his place, his mother, here with me The judge sat there with head bowed, at first did not reply And then I saw him brushing the teardrops from his eyes He motioned to the jury, this sentence can't be done God bless you darlin' mother I still love you and my son
