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
