In a little pine grove
By the old home
There's someone who's resting 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 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 said
Mother is gone
My friends did say
Before she went away
She called my name over and over
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
