On a dark stormy night, the angels called mother
Her love that we'd shared for such a short while
She called us around and told us she's leavin'
Then, closin' her eyes, she went with a smile

Mother's at rest in a lonesome old graveyard
On a hill far away, there stands her white tomb
With 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 the old home
I know her reward is a mansion in Heaven
While her children on Earth're scattered and gone

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