Lonely Tombs (Oh Those Tombs) [acetate version 7] Songtext
von Hank Williams

Lonely Tombs

I was strollin′ one day, in a lonely graveyard
When a voice from the tomb, seemed to say
I once lived as you live, walked and talked as you talk
But from Earth, I was soon called away

Oh, those tombs (oh, those tombs)
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
Oh, how sweet (oh, how sweet)
Is the rest (is the rest)
In our beautiful, heavenly home


Every voice from the tomb, seemed to whisper and say
Livin' man you must soon follow me
And I thought as I gazed, on those cold marble slab
What a sad lonesome place that must be

Oh, those tombs (oh, those tombs)
Lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
Oh, how sweet (oh, how sweet)
Is the rest (is the rest)
In our beautiful, heavenly home

And always thank you boys for singing that
Yes, sir!
