Are All The Children In - Johnny Cash
When I'm alone
I often think of an old house on the hill
Of a big yard hedged in roses
Where we ran and played at will
And when the night time
Brought us home hushing our merry din
Mother would look around
And ask are all the children in
Well it's been many a year now
And the old house on the hill
No longer has my mother's care
And the yard is still so still
But if I listen I can hear it all no matter
How long it's been
I seem to hear my mother
Ask are all the children in
And I wonder
When the curtain falls on that last earthly day
When we say goodbye to all of
This to our pain and work and play
When we step across the river
Where mother so long has been
Will we hear ask
Her a final time are all the children in (I come)
