Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Our Darlin's Gone

God He sent a loving angel

And he called our darling home

For he needed another flower

To bloom around the shining throne

But we know that he is happy

Since he left this world below

For he saw his home in heaven

Just before he had to go

He has left our home so lonely

Loneliness you could not know

But we ask that he watch o’er us

And give comfort to our soul

He’s at rest on a lonely mountain

In a deep and narrow gave

And we thank our loving savior

For the comfort that he gave

Now we’re here so sad and lonely

In this wicked world alone

Just a window and poor orphans

In our little mountain home
