Take The News To Mother Lyrics - Tragic Songs Of Life - Louvin Brothers

While the shot and shells were scattering 

All o'er the battlefield 

While the boys in France were fighting 

To save their noble flag 

Save their flag or give their lives 

All for their country and home 

They brought him back and heard him say 

I can no longer stay 

Go take the news to Mother 

For she knows how well I love her 

Kiss her dear sweet lips for me 

Tell her I'm not coming home

Oh tell my darling sweetheart 

That her lips I'll kiss no more 

For this battlefield is awful 

I'm sure I'll see her no more 

Now, I'd love to see my mother 

Kneeling by the old hearth stone 

But I'm in this hell right here on earth 

And her prayer I'll hear no more

Go take the news to Mother 

For she knows how well I love her 

Kiss her dear sweet lips for me 

Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmmmm 

Tell her I'm not coming home
