The wind is blowing 'cross the mountains
Down the valley way below.
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I wanna go.

Lord send the angels for my darling
Take her to that home on high
I'll spend my time out here on earth, Lord
Come to you when I lie.

I hear a voice out in the darkness
It comes and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a calling
I hear her through the walls of time

Our names are carved upon the tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love will bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side.

Lord send the angels for my darling
Take her to that home on high
I'll spend my time out here on earth, Lord
Come to you when I die.
