Artist/Band: The Stanley Brothers
Lyrics for Song: Lonely Tombs
Lyrics for Album: Early Starday-King Years 1958-1961 [1995]



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



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



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
