Mother Is Gone

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.
