  • Songwriters: Hank Sr Williams

The struggle for life would soon be over
A young man on his deathbed lay
Here is his head in dying anger
And this what I heard him say

Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
Tell her that I've met my Saviour
God has saved her wandering boy

The tears and sorrow I have caused her
How I wish I could repay
But tell her I'll be waiting for her
We'll meet in Heaven some glad day

Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
Tell her that I've met my Saviour
God has saved her wandering boy

How she cried when I left her
I know it filled her heart with pain
She said, "Son, please don't leave me
For we may never meet again"

Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
Tell her that I've met my Saviour
God has saved her wandering boy

Years have passed since that parting
But I know she waits and prays
Soon I'll cross that dark river
Please let her know that I was saved

Take this message to my mother
It will fill her heart with joy
Tell her that I've met my Saviour
God has saved her wandering boy
