Lonely Tombs
The Stanley Brothers & The Clinch Mountain Boys
I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard When a voice from the tomb seemed to say I once lived as you lived walked and talked as you talk But from earth I was soon called away
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs) Seemed to say in a low gentle tone Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest) In our beautiful Heavenly home

Then I came to the place where my mother was laid And in silence I stood by her tomb And her voice seemed to say in a low gentle tone I am safe with my Savior at home
