Carter Family, The - Weary Prodigal Son Lyrics






God is calling the prodigal, come without delay
Hear, o hear him calling, calling now for thee
Patient, loving, and tender life still the father pleas
Hear his loving voice calling still (oh, calling still)

Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)
Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)

Come there's bread in the house of the father and to spare
Hear, o hear him calling, calling now for thee
Lo, the table is spread and the feast is waiting there
Hear his loving voice calling still (oh, calling still)

Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)
Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)

Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)
Calling now for thee
Oh, where is the prodigal son (Where is the prodigal son, where is the prodigal son)

    That plain, humble, simple type of singing has always intrigued me...another era.
    That era often had dark undertones but yet there is it attracts me to a point. it was a time when people were in the transition of living in small communities but yet finding their lives expanded by radio and automobiles and yet often feeling threatened by progress.
