I've a home prepared where the saints abide. Over in the glory land. I long to be by my Saviors side. Over in the glory land. . Just over in the glory land.
Oh, the nights are lonely here without you. All I see is grief and pain. For another love you treasure. All our hopes now seem in vain. . For I love you as no other.
I'm so lonesome and alone since you left our happy home. Now all that's left are these tears upon my face. I've turned to drinkin' and prayin' that the lord would hear me sayin.
Rattler was a good old dog as blind as he could be. But every night at suppertime I believe that dog could see. . Here Rattler here here Rattler here.
There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be. With my friends at the old country church. There with mother we went, and our Sundays were spent. With my friends at the old country church.
Oh death. Oh death. Won't you spare me over til another year. . Well what is this that I can't see. With ice cold hands taking hold of me. Well I am death none can excel.
Nobody's love is like mine. No one so faithful and kind. Love that is true as the ocean. But nobody's love is like mine. . They tell me that you've found another.
Out in this cold world alone. Wandering about on the street. Asking a penny for bread. Begging for something to eat. . I'm nobody's darling on earth. Heaven have mercy on me.
That's where my money goes. To buy my baby clothes. Nobody's business what I do. Nobody's business, nobody's business. Nobody's business what I do. . Sliced ham and pickled feet.
No answer to my love letter. To sooth my achin heart. Why did God ever permit. True love like ours to part. . No letter in the mail today. No answer from my love.
The storm clouds rise no light in the sky. And my loved ones have gone and left me. There's glory divine it's riches are mine. He tells me no burdens pass through.
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.
Sittin' alone in my cold prison cell. Watchin the sinkin' sun. My trial on earth is over now. But my main trial is yet to come. . My main trial is yet to come oh Lord.
Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping. Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come. The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping. They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away.
As a boy I learned of Jesus. With my mother here at home. Gathered there around the fireside. Mother taught us right from wrong. . Happy days I still remember.
One night while the moon from heaven was shining. My mother was praying for me to come home. She asked her dear lord watch o'er me out yonder. To send me back home to never more roam.
No matter what I say or do you're never satisfied. I've tried and tried so many times I'm leavin you now good bye. . I'm ridin on that midnight train my head's a hangin low.
We were wed in the hills of ol' Virginia. We were happy there together all alone. But I strayed away from my darlin. Through this dark and stormy night I'm goin home.
On a dark stormy night the angels called mother. The love that we shred for such a short while. She called us around and told us she's leaving. Then closing her eyes she went with a smile.
