My mother said go get the doctor
Your daddy's burnin with fever again
the ink from the presses, the smoke and the stresses
I don't think that he'll see the spring
I don't think that he'll see the springOh saint Peter will you know him when you see him
Will you call him by the name that his mother gave
will you put your arms around him
bathe him in your cool fountain
make it so he cant remember the painHe's talking about Jesus and angels
coming to take his soul from us today
and riding a team of white horses to heaven
all we can do now is pray
all we can do now is pray CHOh, when will I see him again, will I see him again, Oh, will I
Oh, when will I see him again, will I see him again, Oh, will I ...OhDaddy went later that evening
While I was crying out on the highway
I never got to tell him goodbye or how I loved him
And I wish that I could to this dayOh, when will I see him again, will I see him again, Oh, will I
Oh, when will I see him again, will I see him again, Oh, will I ...Oh
