| 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 |
