Sorrow
Once this land was fair to me These mountains were my joy But now dark and drear they be For here lays my darling boy
'Twas in the summertime 'Twas on the eve of sadness That I bore sweet babe of mine And my heart was filled with gladness
'Twas in the wintertime The dreaded chill did grip him And his spirit flew afar For naught there was to save him
Oh that he were still here with me To grow so strong and fine Oh that he weren't laid in the ground Sweet darling boy of mine
Husband journeyed far to war And he left my heart in sorrow Now he sleeps in ground so cold Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com His face I'll see no more
Oh that he were still here with me My husband, fine and strong Oh that he weren't laid in the ground So far away from home
Once this land was fair to me These mountains were my home But now dark and drear they be For I'm left here all alone
But when these bones are tired and worn I'll lay my troubles down And then I'll see my Saviour's face No more I'll be alone
And when I lay this body down I'll fly to land so sweet And there I'll tarry with my loves And rest at Jesus' feet
