Now come and listen to my story. A story that I know is true. A little rose that bloomed in Georgia. With hair of gold and a heart so true. . Way down in the blue ridge mountains.
Run O Molly run, run O Molly run. Tenbrooks gonna beat you to the bright shinin' sun.. To the bright shinin' sun O Lord to the bright shinin' sun. . Tenbrooks was a big bay horse he wore that shaggy mane.
Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping. Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come. The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping. They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away.
You're my sweet blue-eyed darling. And my love belongs to you. All I ask of you my darling. (All I ask, my darling). Is love me good and be true. (You love me good and be true).
Mother's not dead, she's only a sleeping. Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come. The birds will be singing while mother is sleeping. They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away.
