Two young men met on the street
It went something like this:
Two young men met on the street
It was one winter's eve.
They were brothers, you could see,
One seemed about to leave.
One was dressed in a uniform.
???????????????
Come and go with me tonight
I heard the brother say,
It's God who loves you brother ,dear.
He's pleading night and day.
Come with me to to the mission hall,
and there give God your heart and
meet our mother in heaven where
we'll never never part.
I must go and join the boys
I heard the brother say??????
???????????????
I'll come tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night has never come
to this young soul again
For God took him from this world
that's filled with guilt and sin.
That's about all I know of it, but I'd dearly love to know the whole song as I miss my mom and she sang it so much. If anyone can help--thanks so much.
My mother used to sing this song, also. The only place I have found it on the internet is at this link:
maxhunter.missouristate.edu
At this link, there are also two ways you can hear a lady singing it. It appears that the lyrics were transcribed from this same music clip. If you can get it to play, see what you think.
I have revised the wording from this link to the way I believe my mother used to sing it -- anyway, this is the way I like it best. Feel free to revise it any way you want to use it.

I'll Come Tomorrow Night
VERSE 1
Two young men, met on the street.
It was one winter's eve.
They were brothers, you could see
One seemed about to leave.
One was dressed in a uniform
With God's love in his heart.
He took the other by the hand
Saying, "Brother, we must part".
VERSE 2
"O, come an' go with me tonight"
I heard the brother say;
"God, He loves you, Brother dear,
He's pleadin' night an' day.
Come with me to the mission hall
An' there give God your heart.
Meet our mother in Heaven where
We'll never, never part."
VERSE 3
"No, I must go an' join the boys
An' have another spree.
This, I promise faithfully,
Will be the last for me.
Then I will come tomorrow night
Forever to do right.
Now, my Brother, I must go,
I'll come tomorrow night".
VERSE 4
Tomorrow night has never come
To this young soul again.
God, He called him from this world,
All full of guilt an' sin.
His Brother by his coffin drew
With tear drops in his eyes;
Remembering that his last words were,
"I'll come tomorrow night."
VERSE 5
"O, come an' go with me tonight",
I heard the other say;
"This I promise faithfully
Will be the last for me.
Then I will come tomorrow night
Forever, to do right.
Now, my Brother, I must go,
I'll come tomorrow night."
