Lyrics Mother's Only Sleeping - Reno & Smiley

Way back in the hills where mother is sleeping
The angels, they called her to heaven one day
Mother was lying upon her pillow
When Jesus came down and took her away

Mother's not dead, she's only a-sleeping
Patiently wait for Jesus to say
Birds will be singing while mother is sleeping
While mother's grave sinks softly away

Now that she's gone, I know she's a-sleeping
Resting up there with the angels above
And some sweet day, l hope l can meet her
Open heaven with all his love

Mother's not dead, she's only a-sleeping
Patiently waiting for Jesus to save
Birds will be singing while mother is sleeping
While mother's grave sinks softly away
