This mornin' I gazed

Through the window so clear

And I couldn't help

But shed just a tear

I bowed my head and I did pray

For I knew this was someone

Yes someone's last day

Someone yes

Someone's last day

Some soul

Is driftin' A way

Their life is over

On earth no more

For this is someone

Yes someone's last day

It could be some mother

Who's leaving today

Her children and kin

Have wandered away

So write her your love

My brother I pray

It might be your mother

Yes mother's last day

Someone yes

Someone's last day

Some soul

Is driftin' A way

Their life is over

On earth no more

For this is someone

Yes someone's last day
