We had a visitor

While you were away

Unwelcome as he was

He came on in one day

He sat down quietly

At your mother's side

She left with him

Sometime in the night

She's gone

You know how much she loved you, son

She had no fear of death

She went on peacefully

She just closed her eyes

And drifted off to sleep

She's gone

She's gone

You know much she loved you, son

Let's walk on over there and lay

A rose upon her grave

She's gone

She's gone

You know much she loved you, son
