There's an old family graveyard, way up in the mountains As a young child my daddy, would take me up there He kneeled by two tombstones, and looked towards the heavens With a tear in his voice, I remember his prayer Dear God up in heaven, miss momma and daddy For lovin me dearly, and raisin me right I pray their reward is, a mansion in Heaven We'll be together at the end of my life Where have the years gone, Like them he has past on I try to come back every chance that I can, With a child of my own, I kneel by 4 tombstones I whisper this prayer, holding her little hand Dear God up in heaven, miss momma and daddy For lovin me dearly, and raisin me right I pray their reward is, a mansion in Heaven We'll be together at the end of my life
