Sun Is Setting

Cat. #1189 (MFH #825) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 31, 1971

VERSE 1
Over th hills th sun is setting
An' the east, is growing on
Slowli drops th gentle twilight
For another day is gone

VERSE 2
Gone forever, th race is over
Soon th darkness shade will come
Yet it is sweet to know that even
We 'er one day nearer home

VERSE 3
One day nearer sings a sailor
As he dives th water o'er
While th twilights softly dying
On th distance native shore

VERSE 4
Worn an' weary as a pilgrim
In th setting of th sun
For th light is softly dying
An' I journey nearly run

VERSE 5
Gone forever, th race is over
Soon th darkness shade will come
Yet it is sweet to know that even
We 'er one day nearer home
