dear brother

dear brother

mama left us this morning

death's angels took her away

she's gone to meet daddy up there in heaven

but we'll meet again some day. she left this world with a smile on her face

whisp'ring the saviour's name

dear brother

mama left us this morning

for the city where is no pain. as i stood by her bedside

those last few moments

i lived my childhood again

i thought of you brother and of the old homestead

and my tears they fell like rain.
