Lyrics

Dear Brother

Dear Brother, Mama left us this morning

Death's angels took her away

She's gone to meet Daddy up there in heaven

But we'll meet again some day

She left this world with a smile on her face

Whisp'ring the Saviour's name

Dear Brother, Mama left us this morning

For the city where is no pain

As I stood by her bedside, those last few moments

I lived my childhood again

I thought of you Brother and of the old homestead

And my tears they fell like rain
