Johnny Cash - Are All The Children In lyrics

When I'm alone I often think of
An old house on the hill
Of a big yard hedged in roses where
We ran and played at will
And when the night time brought us
Home hushing our merry din
Mother would look around and ask
Are all the children in
Well it's been many a year now and
The old house on the hill
No longer has my mother's care and
The yard is still so still
But if I listen I can hear it
All no matter how long it's been
I seem to hear my mother ask
Are all the children in
And I wonder when the curtain falls
On that last earthly day
When we say goodbye to all of this
To our pain and work and play
When we step across the river where
Mother so long has been
Will we hear ask her a final
Time are all the children in (I come)
