David Davis & The Warrior River Boys
it s just an old body live
It's just an old body,
No, Mother's not there;
Her soul's gone to heaven
To rest up there.
No pain and no sorrow
On heaven's bright shore,
She'll have a new body,
She'll suffer no more.
The old man looked over to the little boy,
And his hands were trembling, and with a shake in his voice;
He said, Son
dont you realize, your mother lies dead?"
As he walked away, that little boy said:
As he stood in the graveyard in silence that day,
And mourned for our loved one that God called away.
The minister said, as comfort he gave,
"Well, thats
just
an
old
body,
that
sleeps
in
the
grave.
