Cat. #1003 (MFH #448) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 7, 1969
VERSE 1
On a dark stormy night th angels called Mother
Th love we had such a short while
She called us around her an' said, she was leaving
Then closin' her eyes, she went with a smile
CHORUS:
Now, Mother's at rest in a lonesome graveyard
On a hill far away stands her white tomb
O, how we love her an' how we'll miss her
But when Jesus comes, sweet flowers will bloom
VERSE 2
I'll never forget th love Mother give us
As children we played around th old home
I know her reward is a mansion in Heaven
While children on earth are left here to mourn
