Mother's Only Sleeping

1 5
Mothers not dead she’s only a sleepin’
1
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
5
The birds will be singing while mother is sleeping
1
They will sing o’er as the grave sinks 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
