[1] On a dark stormy night the [4] angels called [1] mother
Her love that we'd shared for such a short [5] while
She called us a-[1]-round and [4] told us she's [1] leavin'
Then closin' her eyes she [5] went with a [1] smile

Mother's at rest in a lonesome old graveyard
On a hill far away there stands her white tomb
With the grass covered o'er it seems so neglected
When the spring seasons come sweet flowers will bloom

I'll never forget the love mother gave us
As children we played around our old home
I know her reward is a mansion in heaven
While her children on Earth are scattered and gone
