D D
In the old church yard where the faithful gather
D A
There's a place they have left for me
D
By the old oak tree were my folks lie buried
D A D
There's a place they have left for me
D
I'm going there to meet my Savior
G D
I've got a mansion in the sky
D
Family and friends will be there waiting
D A D
We'll be together by-and-by
(same for the rest of the song)
When they lay me there this old body will crumble
In the place by the old oak tree
But when Jesus comes there'll be a new body
In the place they have left for me
I'm going there to meet my Savior
I've got a mansion in the sky
Family and friends will be there waiting
We'll be together by-and-by
On that morning when the Saints all gather
And the souls of the dead go free
Then will Jesus come and open up Heaven
Where a place is prepared for me
I'm going there to meet my Savior
I've got a mansion in the sky
Family and friends will be there waiting
We'll be together by-and-by
In this world of sin where troubles are many
There's a place that I long to see
In the old church yard were the folks lie buried
There's a place they have left for me
