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.
