Tonalidad: D major
Verse 1
D
G
I was walking in Savannah
D
past a church decayed and dim
When slowly through the window
E
came a plaintive funeral hymn
And my sympathy awakened
A
an d a wonder quickly grew
Till I found myself envied
D
in a little country church pew
Out front a young couple
G
sat in sorrow nearly wild
D
On the altar was a casket
and in the casket was a child
Bb
D
I could picture him while living,
A
curly hair and smiling lips
D
Oh, I'd seen perhaps a thousand
A
in my hurried business trips
Then rose a sad old country preacher
from his little wooden desk
D
with a manner sort of awkward
and countenance grotesque.
A
And he said, now, don't be weeping
E
for this pretty bit of clay,
A
for the little boy who lived there
has gone and run away.
He was doing very finely
D
and he appreciated your love,
but our Heavenly Father wanted him
A
D
in the big house up above.
G
Now, the Lord didn't give you that baby,
D
A
not by no hundred thousand miles.
D
He just thought you needed sunshine,
G
D
and he lent him for a while.
A
D
And he let you keep him and love him
A
D
until your hearts were bigger grown.
Bm
D
And these silver tears that
you're shedding now
are just interest on the loan.
A
D
G
Just think, my poor dear mourners
D
Creepin' along old life's sorrow way
What a blessed picnic
this your baby has today
E
All your good fathers and good mothers
A
Crowd the little fellow round
In the angel's tender garden
In the big plantation ground
D
And his eyes they brightly sparkle
At the pretty things he views
A
D
G
But a tear came and he whispered
D
I want my mom and daddy,
But then the angel's chief musician,
G
he teaches that little boy
D
A
a song that says,
D
if only they be faithful,
they'll soon be coming along.
A
Bm
A
D
So my poor dejected mourners,
G
D
let your hearts with Jesus rest,
A
and don't go criticizing the
D
one what know the best.
Bm
He hath given us many comforts,
D
and he's got the right to take away.
G
D
To the Lord be praised and glory,
A
G
Now forever, let us pray.
