Momma, I hear you calling tonight   your old song calling me in for the night   in the tall grass, down from the trees where I climb   when day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pine      I hear your voice calling   by the back door light   it reaches as far as I roam   it's calling me all the way home   Momma   The darkness is falling so fast   Somehow I thought the day would always last   I'm afraid that I walk alone in life   Following the sound of your voice by the light      Your sweet voice is calling   by the back door light   It reaches as far as I roam   It's calling me all the way home   It's calling me all the way home   Calling me all the way home      Momma   The night is so long and so deep   Won't you stay a while- stay with me here 'till I sleep
