Oh Those Tombs

I went walking alone in a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tomb seemed to say
"I once lived as you lived. Walked, and talked as you talk
But from Earth I was soon called away."

Oh those tombs, (oh those tombs)
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seem to say in a low, gentle tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)
Is the rest (is the rest)
Of my beautiful heavenly home

Every voice from the tomb
Seemed to whisper and say
"living man, you must soon follow me."
And I thought as I looked upon those cold marble slabs
What a dark and lonely place it must be

Oh those tombs, (oh thosе tombs)
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seem to say in a low gentlе tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)
Is the rest (is the rest)
Of my beautiful heavenly home

Well I went to the place where my mama had been laid
And a silence, it stood by her tomb
And her voice seemed to say in a low, gentle tone
"I am safe with my savior at home."

Oh those tombs, (oh those tombs)
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seem to say in a low gentle tone
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet)
Is the rest (is the rest)
Of my beautiful heavenly home
Of my beautiful heavenly home
