I saw mom with God last night   I was mad when God took you, from me   But last night I could plainly see   That He saved you from lots of misery      A smile upon your face told me   You were happy as you could be   I'm a gonna ask God if He'll save a place for me      Mother, dear sweet precious mother, mother   (Sweet precious mother)   I saw you with God last night   He was holdin' to your hand   Showin' you around in the Promised Land   I saw you with God last night      Gonna write two letters to the heaven's blue   One to God, and one to you   I'm a gonna thank Him for bein' so nice to you      I've been cryin' since you went away   But not one tear I've shed today   'Cause I know now you're happy up there   In the heaven's blue      Mother, dear sweet precious mother, mother   (Sweet precious mother)   I saw you with God last night   He was holdin' to your hand   Showin' you around in the Promised Land   I saw you with God last night
