the village churchyard lyrics
[verse 1]
in a dear old village churchyard
i can see a mossy mound
that is where my mother’s sleeping
in the cold and silent ground

[verse 2]
there in a weeping willow
sweet little bird to sing at dawn
i have no one left to love me
since my mother’s dead and gone

[verse 3]
i was young but i remember
well the night my mother died
there i saw her spirit fading
when she called me to her side

[verse 4]
saying, “darling, i must leave you
and god’s voice to guide you on
pray that we may meet in heaven
where your mother’s dead and gone.”

[verse 5]
oft i’ve wandered to the churchyard
flowers to plant with tender care
on the grave of my dear mother
darkness finds me weeping there
[verse 6]
looking at the stars above me
waiting for the early dawn
there by mother i’ll be buried
and no more be left alone
