The Carter Family - Grave on the green hillside

There’s a ^Alittle grave on the ^Dgreen hillside that ^Alies to the morning ^Esun And the ^Away worn feet often ^Dwander there when the ^Ecares of the day are ^Adone We ^Dsometimes sit in the ^Atwilight fall and talk of a far off ^Eland And we ^Asometimes feel in the ^Dtwilight there the ^Etouch of a vanished ^Ahand

And this land is full of these ^Dlittle graves in the ^Avalleys plains and ^Ehills There’s an ^Aangel too for each ^Dlittle grave an ^Eangel procession ^Afills I ^Dknow not how but I ^Asometimes think that they lead us with gentle ^Ehand And a ^Awhisper falls on a ^Dwilling ear from the ^Eshore of a far off ^Aland

And these little graves are but ^Dwayside marks that ^Apoint to a far off ^Eland And they ^Aspeak to the soul of a ^Dbetter day of a ^Eday that’s near at ^Ahand Though we ^Dfirst must walk through the ^Achartless fields yet Christ will be our ^Eguide We will ^Areach the shore of a ^Dfar off land through a ^Egrave on a green hill^Aside
