***INTRO:C G C 
 
C                     Bb 
I was standing by the bedside 
C 
Where my fevered mother laid 
                         Bb     C 
When she called me close beside her 
           G                C 
And these words I heard her say 
 
C 
I've just seen the Rock of Ages 
         G             C 
Jacob's ladder hanged down 
C    
I've just crossed the river of Jordan 
       G                C 
Now my son I'm homeward bound 

C                         Bb 
As we gathered all around her 
C 
The tears began to fill our eyes 
                   Bb     C 
Then she called me close beside 
 
          G             C 
Whispered softly her goodbyes 
 
 
***CHORUS*** 
C                          Bb 
High breeze blowing on the mountain 
C 
Where forever she will lay 
                         Bb  C 
There she'll rest beside the fountain 
 
             G                 C 
There she'll sleep beneath the clay 
 
***CHORUS***
