Lyrics and Chords
[1] Mothers not dead she's only a [5] sleepin' Just patiently waiting for Jesus to [1] come The birds will be singing while mother is [5] sleeping They will sing o'er as the grave sinks [1] away
Well I left my old home way back in the mountains For mother and father had both passed away We followed our mother up to the graveyard For mother was called to heaven that day
Oh how we miss her 'round the old home place Everything seems so lonesome since she went away Mother is sleepin' way back in the mountains Yes mother is sleepin' way back in the hills
