|
In a little pine grove by the old home |
|
There's someone who's restin' alone |
|
And there on the the tomb, these words I read |
|
The words were Mother is gone. |
|
Mother is gone, to her home |
|
Way up in heaven above |
|
And my heart's so sad, for the words I read there |
|
The words said Mother is gone. |
|
As I stood alone, with mem'ries of home |
|
The place I left long, long ago |
|
I returned home, but I waited too long |
|
For the words said, Mother is gone. |
|
My friends did say, before she went away |
|
She called my name o'er and o'er |
|
So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above |
|
Over there on that other shore. |
|
Mother is gone, to her home |
|
Way up in heaven above |
|
And my heart's so sad, for the words I read there |
|
The words said Mother is gone. |
