IN A LITTLE VILLAGE CHURCHYARD (MY MOTHER'S GRAVE) Sung by: Mrs. Alice Isringhouse Recorded in Holly Grove, AR 6/15/59 Click here to listen to the original recording There I see a grassy mound. There my mother lies a-sleeping In the cold and silent ground. She was sweet and kind and tender, But oh, those tears I cannot drive away. Oh, I never can forget her, For I think of her each day. Bright the flowers bloom around her, When the warblers sing their song. Still I sit so sad and lonely Since my mother's dead and gone. I was young, but I remember That sad day my mother died, And I set there softly weeping When she called me to her side. Then she told me she was going To where the angels sit upon the throne, And I know we'll meet in Heaven When life's troubled race is done. |
