Honey, I followed close behind you As they drove to lay your body to rest I Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid you in the grave Went back home Lord, Our home is so lonely All our children, crying so sad and lone Since you left us all alone How it makes my heart ache, darling Oh, 'tis hard to say farewell My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow For the only man I loved has left forever more When will I see him, no, no, never again not here on earth We’ll meet him in heaven above someday soon, but not soon enough. You left me and our children to mourn your loss, we don’t understand why, because we can’t question the Lord above We think of you in the daytime. We dream of you by night. We wake and wish you were here, my love, But, tears are blinding our sight I opened my windows so gently Looked out on the dreaming dew And all the world, my darling Was sighing, was sighing for you Your chair seems empty and bare We miss you and wish you was there Our hearts are filled with pain, knowing you shall never come back again Tell me, darling, are you lonesome tonight Tell me, if you could your live life over Would you do it differently My love is dead and buried yonder On that mountain top It wrecks my life and makes me wonder Why you died and left us all alone Only you and GOD know why it happened So me must accept that Fate must have decreed that we be parted As the leaves of autumn fell When two hearts are separated That had loved each other well I prayed to lay down in death beside you For your all this life to me That I may join and ever caress you forever But I have to carry on, our children need me to be strong. GOD please help me, don’t let them know I cry so deeply when I’m alone. We pray that God, shall ever forgive For the deeds that you have done And we pray hard someday we will all meet up yonder home In a land beyond the mountain is where your body now lay That’s where I’ll be someday in my place beside you where I belong.
