Often my thoughts drift back to childhood
To the times when I was free As I played before the fireside 'Round my darling, mother's knee There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me Then one day our mother left us Daddy said she'd gone to rest I remember how she loved me As she clutched me to her breast There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me Some sweet day I'll meet you, mother Your little boy is coming home To see you as in days of childhood The one you loved and left alone There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me |

In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well Where I spent many days of my childhood In the cabin where we loved to dwell White dove will mourn in sorrow The willows will hang their heads I'll live my life in sorrow Since mother and daddy are dead We were all so happy there together In our peaceful little mountain home But the Savior needs angels up in heaven Now they sing around the great white throne As the years roll by I often wonder If we will all be together someday And each night as I wander through the graveyard Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By WALSH, JAMES/STELFOX, JAMES/WESTHEAD, BARRY/BYRNE, BENJAMIN <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Death is an angel sent down from above
Sent for the buds and the flowers we love Truly 'tis so, for in heaven's own way Each soul is a flower in the Master's bouquet Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet Beautiful flowers that will never decay Gathered by angels and carried away Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet Let us be faithful till life's work is done Blooming with love 'til the reaper has come Then we'll be gathered together someday Transplanted to bloom in the Master's bouquet |

Have you someone in Heaven awaiting?
Expecting you on that beautiful shore Be ready to join that great band of angels When they welcome you into that Heavenly door (When they welcome you into that Heavenly door) Come sinners take heed while Jesus is waiting Please never be caught in the pathway of sin For Jesus may call you home in the mornin' When Heaven's gates open will you enter in? Have you someone in Heaven awaiting? Expecting you on that beautiful shore Be ready to join that great band of angels When they welcome you into that Heavenly door (When they welcome you into that Heavenly door) The savior will hear the prayer of the sinner No matter how dark, no matter how late He'll welcome you home to the Heavenly mansion Take a straight narrow way to that beautiful gate Have you someone in Heaven awaiting? Expecting you on that beautiful shore Be ready to join that great band of angels When they welcome you into that Heavenly door (When they welcome you into that Heavenly door) |

Come little girl let's go get married
My love is so great, how can you slight me I'll work for you both late and early At my wedding my little wife you'll be Oh Willie dear, let's both consider We're both too young to be married now When we're married, we're bound together Let's stay single just one more year He went to the bar where she was dancing A jealous thought came to his mind I'll kill that girl, my own true lover Before I let another man beat my time He went to the bar and called her to him She said Willie dear, what you want with me Come and drink wine with the one that loves you More than anyone else you know, said he While they were at the bar a-drinking That same old thought came to his mind He'd kill that girl, his own true lover He gave her poison in a glass of wine She laid her head over on his shoulder Said Willie dear, please take me home That glass of wine that I've just drinken Has gone to my head and got me drunk He laid his head over on the pillow Let me read you the law let me tell you my mind Molly dear, I'm sorry to tell you We both drank poison in a glass of wine They folded their arms around each other They cast their eyes unto the sky Oh God, oh God, Ain't this a pity That the both true lovers are bound to die |

Many times I've thought about you
Many times I've wondered why That you'd ever go and leave me And this heart you taught to cry Darling wait until I see you Since you say it is the end Though I know that you don't love me Won't you let me be your friend As I lay upon my pillow Thinking of you in my dreams Are you happy with another I'm so lonesome here it seems Do you ever think about me Will you love again someday Will you ever think my darling Of this heart you stole away |

Darling, do you really love me?
Are you the girl I used to know? Something's happened to you, darling But it pleases me to know Life is sweet when love is blooming Like a wild rose on the hill But when lovers part forever Where it ends no one can tell Many lonely nights I've traveled Far across this barren land Thinking of that peaceful village Where we once strolled hand in hand When our journey here has ended And this life on earth is done We'll be sweethearts up in heaven For me I know you are the one Darling, do you really love me? Are you the girl I used to know? Something's happened to you, darling But it pleases me to know |

Now tonight as I write this note to you
There's sorrow in my heart I hate to say goodbye my dear But it's better that we part Don't think that I've grown tired of you Or found somebody new For you were all I've ever had And I love no one but you Now when you read this note my dear I hope you'll understand And think of the one that loves you best This broken hearted man Now that I have loved and lost I hope you're satisfied It'll be so hard to go through this world With a broken heart inside |

Come take me by my trembling hand
And hold me close to you And think of all the days gone by The days when love was true Come go with me to the old depot And wave your hand goodbye I know, I've done you wrong sweetheart But now it's too late to cry Sweetheart of mine, I hate to go And leave you here all alone May God protect and keep you Wherever you may roam Come go with me to the old depot And wave your hand goodbye I know, I've done you wrong sweetheart But now it's too late to cry Come go with me to the old depot And wave your hand goodbye I know, I've done you wrong sweetheart But now it's too late to cry |

I left my old home in the mountains
And the only friends I ever had And while I rambled this world over My heart felt so lonely and sad I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill I know that dear old mother?s waiting Waiting alone on that hill With the silver in her hair and a twinkle in her eye In the old cabin home on the hill I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill Years have gone by since I saw her I?ve traveled many a mile But tonight there?s a light in the window And she's waiting at the door with a smile I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill |

I saw you last night in my dreams, love
I awoke as the clock was strikin' four But I didn't think that I'd meet you And now as you walk through the door Come sit here with me, little darlin' And allow me to sing I love you, sweetheart, I love you Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey As you stood there before me, I wondered If I'd ever get you off of my mind And the tears filled my eyes when you vanished With your golden curls that hung down behind Come sit here with me, little darlin' And allow me to sing I love you, sweetheart, I love you Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey Won't you come back to me in my dreams, love? Some dark night when I'm here all alone Would you tell me sweetheart that you love me? Some dark night when I'm here all alone Come sit here with me, little darlin' And allow me to sing I love you, sweetheart, I love you Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey |

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind
Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind Let me set beside you and tell you my mind Well my mind is to marry and never to part My mind is to marry and never to part The first time I saw you it wounded my heart Oh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me Before we get married some pleasures to see Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep He led her over hills and valleys so deep Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep Oh Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid to of your ways Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astray Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right I dug on your grave the biggest part of last night Oh she knelt down before him a pleading for her life She knelt down before him a pleading for her life Let me be a single girl if I can't be your wife Oh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be Your past recitation's been trouble to me Oh went down to the jailhouse and what did he say He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say I've killed Pretty Polly and trying to get away |

After traveling through this world of sorrow
No one on earth to call my friend I'm on my way back to old Kentucky Where I met and loved but could not win. I've always loved you little darling My heart will always feel the same I could never do one thing to hurt you I'd rather die than bring you shame. When that cold dark shroud is wrapped around me They lay my weary head to rest Will you stand around and gaze upon me For I'm the one that loved you best When your golden hair is turned to silver The master calls your soul to heaven Where we can be free from all our troubles I'll meet you there at journey's end |

Here's a story of two childhood sweethearts
And a love that we shared still untold How our simple little vows they were broken And our love that I treasured more than gold Are you tired of the life that you're livin'? Does your mind wander back to the past? Do you think of the love you've forsaken? Darlin' true love is too sweet to last I remember that night in the moonlight When you said that you'd found someone new Do you realize the heartache you've caused me You should know that my love was so true Are you tired of the life that you're livin'? Does your mind wander back to the past? Do you think of the love you've forsaken? Darlin' true love is too sweet to last Alone and sad as I'm travelling I'm lost on this sea of regret Wandering back to the place of my childhood And the one that I've always loved the best Are you tired of the life that you're livin'? Does your mind wander back to the past? Do you think of the love you've forsaken? Darlin' true love is too sweet to last |

Out in the cold world and far away from home
Some mother's boy is wandering all alone No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right Some mother's boy is homeless tonight Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy For there is no other that's left to give me joy Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair Is at the old home, awaiting him there Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair Had an old pair of shoes he used to wear Empty now the cradle, he used to love so well Oh, how I love him, no tongue can tell Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy For there is no other that's left to give me joy Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair Is at the old home, awaiting him there Well, I remember the parting words he said "We'll meet again where tears are never shed No separation [Incomprehensible] When life is over, I'll meet you up there Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy For there is no other that's left to give me joy Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair Is at the old home, awaiting him there |

Each night I dream of you sweet heart
I can't see why we had to part But there's no reason now to stay For I was only in your way Oh how I long to see your face Tho' there's someone in my place Or just to hear your voice again Darling why not part the best of friends I played the game of love and lost My broken heart has paid the cost And now that I am free to go Somehow sweet heart I miss you so You say that you are happy now I'll try to forget the past some how But if your new love turns you down Remember me I'm still around |
