Lonely Tombs - The Stanley Brothers
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
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
Every voice from the tomb
Seemed to whisper and say
Living man you must soon follow me
And I thought as I looked
On those cold marble slabs
What a dark lonely place that must be
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
