The cast — and Cyrus — appeared side by side with their moms in the Mother's Day episode's cold open.
Cyrus put a rock 'n' roll touch to the country hit, which Parton released in 1977. She reportedly wrote the song after parting ways with her longtime musical partner Porter Wagoner.
"It's been a long dark night / And I've been a waitin' for the morning / It's been a long hard fight / But I see a brand new day a dawning," the lyrics go — an apt song choice considering theCyrus was also joined by her mom, Tish, at the end of the number and gave her a shoutout. She also wished her godmother Dolly Parton a happy Mother's Day.
Through the pop star's moving rendition, various"SNL" cast members made jokes to the camera alongside their mothers.
