The Carter Family - Dying Mother lyrics

On a cold winter's eve as the snowflakes were falling In a low humble cottage a poor mother lay Although wracked with pain as she lay there contented With her Savior, her Friend and peace with Him made We will all meet again on that great Judgment morning The books will be open, the roll will be called Oh how sad it will be if forever we're parted While some rise to Glory while others stand the Fall Oh that mother of yours has gone o'er the river And you promised you'd meet her while knelt by her bed As the d**h sweat rolled off and fell down on her pillow Oh, her mem'ry still lives although she is dead You remember the kiss and the last words she uttered Oh the arms that embraced you are with you no more As you stand by her grave teardrops fall on her casket And you vowed there to meet her on that happy shore
