Shall We Gather At The River - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

Shall we gather at the river[00:00:02]

That flows by the throne of God[00:00:07]

The church doors opened[00:00:15]

One Sunday in a little country town[00:00:16]

The people all were silent in the rain[00:00:20]

That misted down[00:00:23]

And an old gray-haired granddad[00:00:25]

His shoulders stooped with pain[00:00:27]

Was holdin' fast a little boy[00:00:30]

Who kept cryin' in the rain[00:00:32]

And in the dim candlelight[00:00:36]

Within a casket lay so still[00:00:37]

That soon would lie beneath[00:00:41]

At the top of the hill[00:00:44]

The little boy kept askin' in a low[00:00:47]

And plaintive tone[00:00:49]

What's wrong with mommy grandpa[00:00:52]

Won't she be comin' home[00:00:55]

It's awful lonesome grandpa[00:00:57]

Since daddy went away[00:00:59]

And mommy's all the reason[00:01:02]

Why I'm happy every day[00:01:03]

Wouldn't she feel better grandpa[00:01:06]

If I layed down by her side[00:01:08]

The old man turned and faced him[00:01:12]

And with these words replied[00:01:15]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:01:19]

Away up in the sky[00:01:23]

Along the brook that winds[00:01:25]

Among the stars up there on high[00:01:27]

And down the valley where[00:01:30]

The sun goes home at night to sleep[00:01:32]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:01:35]

She wouldn't want us to weep[00:01:38]

The boy didn't seem to understand[00:01:42]

Just where his mom had gone[00:01:44]

He couldn't realize that now[00:01:47]

She wouldn't be comin' home[00:01:50]

He saw the rain on grandpa's face[00:01:53]

He didn't know he cried[00:01:56]

And of course he couldn't hear the words[00:01:58]

That grandpa said inside[00:02:00]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:02:06]

Up yonder in the sky[00:02:10]

And all that we can do down here[00:02:13]

Son is bow our heads and cry[00:02:15]

She's gone to meet your daddy son[00:02:20]

And take him by the hand[00:02:22]

Yes mother went a walkin'[00:02:26]

Son in God's great meadowland[00:02:29]
