Cat. #0556 (MFH #379) - As sung by Mrs. Norma Kisner, Springdale, Arkansas on November 25, 1960
VERSE 1
In a far an' distance city
Dying at th close of day
Was a fair headed boy
Who'd wandered far from home
Take this message to my Mother
When my work on earth is through
Tell her that her boy will meet her
In th land beyond th blue
CHORUS:
Tell my Mother, I will meet her
When'd our work of love an' labor all are through
When th good of earth shall gather
With th faithful an' th true
Tell her that her boy will meet her
In th land beyond th blue
VERSE 2
To th old home came a message
T'was for Mother from her boy
But alas, th message came, it was to late
For that day the angels took 'er
With th faithful an' th true
An' tonight she dwells with Willie
In th land beyond th blue
