Mother's Not Dead
Recorded by Bill Monroe written by Charlie Monroe
 
G                             D7
Mothers not dead she's only a sleeping
                                    G
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come
                                          D7  
The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping
                                       G
They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away

                                        D7
Well I left my old home way back in the mountains
                                      G
For mother and father had both passed away
                                 D7 
We followed our mother up to the graveyard
                                     G
For mother was called to heaven that day

                                       D7  
Oh how we miss her around the old home place
                                            G
Everything seems so lonesome since she went away
                                D7
Mother is sleeping way back the mountains
                                       G
Yes mother is sleeping way back in the hills
