Memories Of Mother - Stanleys Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

On a dark stormy night the angels called mother 

The love that we shred for such a short while 

She called us around and told us she's leaving 

Then closing 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 the grass covered o'er it seems so neglected 

When the spring season comes sweet flowers will bloom 

I'll never forget the love mother gave us 

As children we played around our old home 

I know her reward is a mansion in heaven 

While children on earth are scattered and gone
