Written by Charlie Monroe, sung by Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys (w/ Keith Whitley)
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away
Well I left my old home way back in the mountains
Since mother and father had both passed away
We followed our mother way up to the graveyard
For mother was called to heaven that day
Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away
Oh how we miss her around the old home place
Everything seems so lonesome since she gone away
Mother is sleeping way back the mountains
Yes mother is sleeping way back in the hills
Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away
