SHAKE MY MOTHER’S HAND Sung by: Snake Maynard Recorded in Mountain Home, AR 6/15/63 Click here to listen to the original recording Friends and loved ones you will see. When the saints come out to meet you, Oh, shake my mother’s hand for me. Chorus: Shake my mother’s hand and tell her Happy may her spirit be. When the saints come out to meet you, Oh, shake my mother’s hand for me. There are times I’ve often wondered How can all these trials be? Time can’t keep me here much longer. Oh, shake my mother’s hand for me. (Chorus, sung twice.) |
