The gray mountains are hard to Climb
The way south is an uphill Decline
Brothers and sisters call you Mothers and fathers
The stars are falling, lonesome Silver showers
Cause when it's my turn to sing That lonely song
Sing with me even after I'm Gone
Forgotten old song dance the Night away
Youth is lost and beauty strays
As sure as the moon will rise Above
Life will pass into memories Loved
Cause when it's my turn to sing That lonely song
Sing with me even after I'm Gone
The sound of a cello on a Phonograph
The light of the sun on snow Covered path
The love song of an ole maiden I Carefully strum
And hold her hand when her Love song's sung
Cause when it's my turn to sing That lonely song
Sing with me even after I'm Gone
Cause when it's my turn to sing That lonely song
Sing with me even after I'm Gone
