In a little pine grove by the old home   There's someone who's restin' 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 read, 'Mother Is Gone'      My friends did say, before she went away   She called my name over and over   So trustin' in God's love, I'll meet her above   Over 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'
