Calling My Children Home (A Cappella, 1986) - Dolly Parton/Linda Ronstadt/Emmylou Harris

Written by：DoyleLawson

Those lives were mine to love and cherish

To guard and guide along life's way

Oh god forbid that one should perish

That one alas should go astray

Back in the years with all together

Around the place we'd romp and play

So lonely now I oft' times wonder

Oh will they come back home some day

I'm lonesome for my precious children

They live so far away

Oh may they hear my calling calling

And come back home some day

I gave my all for my dear children

Their problems still with love I share

I'd brave life's storm defy the tempest

To bring them home from anywhere

I lived my life my love I gave them

To guide them through this world of strife

I hope and pray we'll live together

In that great glad here after life

I'm lonesome for my precious children

They live so far away

Oh may they hear my calling calling

And come back home some day
