        C                                F        
 I was talking to a lady a few days ago

       C                       G
 And these are the words she said

         C
 If you see my child somewhere

         F                 C
 As you journey here and there

                               G            C
 Tell him I'm waiting for my child to come home

        C                      F           C
 I am waiting and waiting for my child to come

       C                     F            G
 I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come

          C
 If you can't come home

             F               C
 Could you please send me a letter

                 G               C
 A letter would mean so much to me

         C
 Oh my child may be somewhere

              F
 On his sick bed

         C                            G
 With no one there to rub his aching head

         C
 Oh my child may be somewhere

                  F
 In some lonely jail

       C       G              C      (G)
 With no one there to go his bail

       C                  F             C
 If I only knew what town my child was in

                                       G
 I'll be there on that early morning train

         C
 And no matter what's crime

            F                      C
 Lord you know that this child is mine

                                    G            C
 That's why I'd be waiting for my child to come home

        C                      F           C
 I am waiting and waiting for my child to come

       C                      F           G
 I'm waiting and waiting for my child to come

          C
 If you can't come home

             F               C
 Could you please send me a letter

                 G               C
 A letter would mean so much to me

        C       G
 I am waiting, waiting

       C           F
 I am waiting and waiting

       C               G            F       C
 I am waiting for my child to come home
