Verse
2:
I threw on some clothes in an instant
And not 'til I'd driven thru town
Remebered the crumbling depot
A long time ago was torn down
And
I followed the tracks of the railroad
Until I came to the right spot
In shadows I saw that the depot
Was there on the empty old lot
Chorus 2:
It was there, was there, the depot
Was there on the empty old lot
Verse 3:
And there on the steps of the depot
My dear mother stood in the dark
I had not seen her since I ran away
In trouble and broke her old heart
She said, I have something to tell you
I'm boarding a glory bound train
Have faith in your Lord and your Savior
God bless you 'til we meet again
Chorus 3:
Have faith, have faith in your Saviour,
He'll bless you 'til we meet again
Verse
4:
Again I could hear a phone ringing
And the I awoke from my dream
I stumbled back into the kitchen
My sister was calling my name
She cried I'm so sorry to wake you
Dear mother is dead where she fell
The last thing she said was you already knew
She died at a quarter past twelve
