Lyrics

Children I know (I know you're gonna miss me) I know (I know you're gonna miss me) When I'm gone (gone and carried on home) I met my mother (I met my mother one morning) She was climbing (climbing up the hill so soon) She said I'm trying (trying to get to heaven in the noontime) Before (before the heaven doors close) She said I want you to witness (I'll be going to heaven in the noontime) I want you to witness (going to heaven, going home) Children I know (I know you're gonna miss me) I know (I know you're gonna miss me) One day God will be by (I know you're gonna miss me) I'm going home to live with Jesus (I know you're gonna miss me) Children I know (I know you're gonna miss me) When I'm gone (Gone to heaven, gone home) I met my father (I met my father one morning) He was (climbing up the hill so soon) He said I'm trying (trying to get to heaven in the noontime) Before (before the heaven doors close) He said I want you to wake me up early (Wake me up early in the morning) He said I want it to be some morning (Wake me up early in the morning) He said you won't be long (Wake me up early in the morning) He said I want you to wake me up early (Wake me up early in the morning) Before (I'm going to heaven, going home) Children I know (I know you're gonna miss me) I know (I know you're gonna miss me) When I'm gone (and carried on home)
