In the old church yard where the faithful gather, theres a place they have left for me
By the old oak tree where my folks lie barried theres a place they have left for me
Im going there to meet my savior, ive got a mansion in the sky
Family and friends will be there waiting
We'll be there by and by
When they lay me there this old body will crumble, in the place by the old oak tree
But when jesus comes there'll be a new body in the place the have left for me
Im going there to meet my savior, ive got a mansion in the sky
Family and friends will be there waiting
We'll be thogether by and by
On the mourning faire where the saints all gather
and the souls of the dead go free
Then when jesus comes and opens up heaven
There are places repaired for me
Im going there to meet my savior, ive got a mansion in the sky
Family and friends will be there waiting
We'll be together by and by.
In this world of sin where the troubles are many Theres a place that i long to see
In the old church yard where my folks lie barried theres a place they have left for me
Im going there to meet my savior, ive got a mansion in the sky
Family and freinds will be there waiting
We'll be together by and by
In the old church yard where the faithful gather, theres a place they have left for me.
