The Village Churchyard

[00:01.91] Shall I go up in the churchyard
[00:22.32] I can see a mausoleum
[00:40.20] That is where my mother's sleepin'
[00:59.83] In that cold and silent ground
[01:16.95] Shall I rest there weepin' willow
[01:35.50] Sweet little birds to sing at dawn
[01:53.62] I have no one left to love me
[02:12.52] Since my mother's dead and gone
[02:29.35] I was young but I remember
[02:46.42] Well, the night my mother died
[03:03.16] That I saw her spirit fadin'
[03:21.80] When she called me to her side
[03:38.39] Said, "Darling, I must leave you
[03:54.65] And God's voice He'll guide you on
[04:11.18] Pray that we may meet in Heaven
[04:28.19] Where your mother's dead and gone."
[04:43.45] I'll find one there to the churchyard
[05:03.04] Flowers to plant with tender care
[05:20.34] On the grave of my dear mother
[05:41.04] Darkness finds me weepin' there
[05:58.64] Well, lookin' up to the stars above me
[06:17.98] Waitin' for the early dawn
[06:33.64] There by my mother I'll be buried
[06:51.71] I'll no more be left alone
[07:12.73]
