Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, The Foggy Mountain Boys - No Mother or Dad Lyrics

Now brother and I are all alone
We have no place to call our home
It'll never be like home no more
Till we meet them on that other shore

Oh, mother dear and daddy too
We wish that we were there with you
It's not the same since you're away
We'll see you mother and dad someday

Now mother and dad were old you know
It hurt us so to see them go
It's not the same since they are gone
Oh mother and dad, we're so alone

Oh, mother dear and daddy too
We wish that we were there with you
It's not the same since you're away
We'll see you mother and dad someday

Our little home will tumble down
Since mother and dad are not around
What is a home without a friend?
I can never go back home again

Oh, mother dear and daddy too
We wish that we were there with you
It's not the same since you're away
We'll see you mother and dad someday
