Old Bear Mountain - Funeral Lyrics

Just like the old home oh Lord I miss you so
Do you remember when I hitchhiked down the road
And I promised to return and kiss your button nose
But the days have been long and the years have slowly grown

So now I'm waiting for the train the train takes me Lord
To the banks of that old mountain river bed back when I was yours

I'd been rambling round world and felt I'd made my peace
On the darkest days I kept thinking about you and me
Then I heard from a friend that drunk and bastard man
Had fallen asleep at the wheel and left you dead

So now I'm waiting for the train the train takes me Lord
To the banks of that old mountain river bed back when I was yours

That morning I awoke and dressed to myself to go
To the place that your name was etched there in the stone
While I stood by the grave and read out loud your name
Oh how I hated the world and missed your pretty face

So now I'm waiting for the train the train takes me Lord
To the banks of that old mountain river bed back when I was yours
To the banks of that old mountain river bed back when I was yours
