Shake My Mother's Hand For Me Lyrics - Bill Monroe

When you reach that golden city 

(Golden city) 

Friends and loved ones you shall see 

(You shall see) 

When the saints come out to meet you 

(Out to meet you) 

Oh, shake my mother's hand for me 

Shake my mothers hand and tell her 

(And then tell her) 

Happy may her spirits be 

(Your spirits be) 

When the saints come out to meet you 

(Out to meet you) 

Oh, shake my mother's hand for me 

There are times I often wonder 

How can all these trials be? 

Time can't keep me here much longer 

Oh, shake my mother's hand for me 

Over there you'll meet my Savior 

Many loved ones you will see 

When you've had a talk with Jesus 

Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
