Roscoe Holcomb - A Village Churchyard lyrics

Artist: Roscoe Holcomb

album: The High Lonesome Sound


In a dear old village churchyard
I can see a mossy mound
That is where my mother's sleepin'
In the cold and silent ground
There in a weeping willow
Sweet little bird to sing at dawn
I have no one left to love me
Since my mother's dead and gone
I was young but I remember
Well the night my mother died
There I saw her spirit fading
When she called me to her side
Saying darling, I must leave you
And God's voice to guide you on
Pray that we meet in heaven
Where your mother's dead and gone
Oft I wandered 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 the early dawn
There by mother I'll be buried
And no more be left alone
