Mother Is Gone

In a little pine grove by the old home

There’s someone who’s resting alone

And there on 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 o’er and o’er

So trusting 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 were mother is gone
