Intro: C
I was t[C]alking to a lady a few days ago[F]
And th[C]ese are the words she sa[G]id
If you s[C]ee my child somewhere
As you j[F]ourney here and th[C]ere
Tell him I'm waiting for my ch[G]ild to come h[C]ome
I am wa[C]iting and waiting for m[F]y child to c[C]ome
I'm wa[C]iting and waiting for [F]my child to c[G]ome
If you ca[C]n't come home
Could you pl[F]ease send me a l[C]etter
A letter would m[G]ean so much to m[C]e
Oh my ch[C]ild may be somewhere
On his sick b[F]ed
With no [C]one there to rub his aching h[G]ead
Oh my ch[C]ild may be somewhere
In some lonely ja[F]il
With n[C]o one th[G]ere to go his b[C]ail[(G)]
If I o[C]nly knew what town [F]my child was i[C]n
I'll be there on that early morning tr[G]ain
And no m[C]atter what's crime
Lord you kn[F]ow that this child is m[C]ine
That's why I'd be waiting for my ch[G]ild to come h[C]ome
I am wa[C]iting and waiting for m[F]y child to c[C]ome
I'm wa[C]iting and waiting for m[F]y child to c[G]ome
If you ca[C]n't come home
Could you pl[F]ease send me a l[C]etter
A letter would m[G]ean so much to m[C]e
I am wa[C]iting, w[G]aiting
I am w[C]aiting and w[F]aiting
I am w[C]aiting for my ch[G]ild to come h[F]ome[C]
