[C#]
[F#] I left my old home way back [C#] in the mountains [F#] since [C#] mother and father both [F#] passed away.
We followed her mother up [C#] to the graveyard for mother was called [F#] to heaven that day.
Mother's not dead, she's [C#] only asleep just waiting for Jesus [F#] to come.
The birds will be singing while mother [C#] lies asleep.
The whales sang all [F#] the great songs.

[F#]
Oh how we missed her around [C#] the old home way.
Everything seems so long since she's [F#] gone away.
Mother is asleep way back [C#] in the mountains.
Yes mother is asleep [F#] way back in the hills.
Mother's not dead, she's [C#] only asleep just patiently waiting [F#] for Jesus to come.
The birds will be singing while mother [C#] lies asleep.
The whales sang all
