Shall I go up in the churchyard
I can see a mausoleum
That is where my mother's sleepin'
In that cold and silent ground
Shall I rest there weepin' willow
Sweet little birds 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
That I saw her spirit fadin'
When she called me to her side
Said, "Darling, I must leave you
And God's voice He'll guide you on
Pray that we may meet in Heaven
Where your mother's dead and gone."
I'll find one there to the churchyard
Flowers to plant with tender care
On the grave of my dear mother
Darkness finds me weepin' there
Well, lookin' up to the stars above me
Waitin' for the early dawn
There by my mother I'll be buried
I'll no more be left alone
