In that dear old village churchyard I can see a mossy ground That is where my mother's sleeping In the cold and silent ground I was young but I remember When the night my mother died There I saw her spirit fading When she called me to her side Saying Darlin I must leave you Angels voices guide you home Pray that we may meet in heaven When your mother's dead and gone Oft I wander to the churchyard Flowers to plant with tender care On the grave of my dear mother Darkness finds me weeping there Looking at the stars above me Waitin for an early dawn There by mother I'll be buried And no more be left alone
