Last night I laid down everything was so fine

Had mother and dad so much on my mind

Thinking of home and the ones I love so

Everything was so great around the old home



Then I woke up I was a dreaming

No mother no dad no children a playing

Everything was so quiet everybody was gone

There was nothing left but a lonesome old home



Then I got up the sun was so bright

I looked all around but something's not right

I walked out the door and there on a hill

Stood two lonesome graves Lord it gave me a chill



As I stood there everything was so still

As I started to leave those lonesome old hills

Leaving behind where I used to roam

Momma and dad and a lonesome old home
