Oh stop and listen, oh stop and listen
Tis have been a long old lonesome day
Oh stop and listen, tis have been a lonesome old day
And it seem like tomorrow gonna be the same old way
Oh stop and listen, oh stop and listen
Can't you hear this church-bell tone
Oh stop and listen, can't you hear that church-bell tone
It took my baby away and she won't be back nomore
Oh play it
Oh stop and listen, oh stop and listen
That hearse look lonesome rolling to my door
That hearse look lonesome I'm rolling to my door
She took my baby away and she won't be back nomore
They took my baby, they took my baby
Took her to the burying ground
They took my baby to the burying ground
And I watched the pallbearers as they slowly let her down
