Mother Is Gone lyrics

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 were, 'Mother Is Gone' As I stood alone with memories of home The place I left long, long ago I returned home but I waited too long For the words read, 'Mother Is Gone' My friends did say, before she went away She called my name over and over So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above Over 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 were, 'Mother Is Gone'
