Sister come home   Father's ailin'   And he wants to go   With his boots on      So when you come home   We will sing him a goodnight song      Jesus call home   My father's ailin'   And we've been prayin'   All night long      And when you make   All his pain gone   Will you sing us   A goodnight song?      And brother come home   Mother needs you   Your calloused hands   And blues guitar      So brother come home   'Cause she's been waiting   All night long   And when you come home   We will sing her   A goodnight song
