Verse 1
D
G
I was walking in Savannah
D
past a church decayed and dim
when slowly through the window
A
came a plaintive funeral hymn
and my sympathy awakened
and a wonder quickly grew
D
till I found myself envired
in a little colored pew.
G
Out front a couple
sat in sorrow nearly while.
D
On the altar was a casket
A
and in the casket was a child.
G
I could picture him while living,
D
curly hair, protruding lips.
I'd seen perhaps a thousand
G
in my hurried southern trips.
Rose a sad old colored preacher
D
from his little wooden desk
with a manner sort of awkward
G
and countenance grotesque.
The simplicity and shrewdness
Gm
D
in his Ethiopian face
showed the wisdom and ignorance
A
of a crushed, undying race.
D
And he said, now don't be weeping
for this pretty bit of clay,
Gm
for the little boy who lived there
G
is done gone and run away.
D
He was doing very finely
A
and he appreciates your love,
Em
D
but his shona father wanted him
in that big house up above.
The Lord didn't give you that baby
by no hundred thousand miles.
He just think you need some
G
sunshine
and he lent it for a while.
D
And he let you keep and love it
till your hearts was
bigger grown.
And these silver tears
A
you're shedding now
is just interest on the loan.
Bm
Just thank my poor
D
dear Mona's
creeping long on sorrow's way.
G
What a blessed picnic
Gm
G
this here baby got today.
D
Your good fathers and good mothers
A
crowd the little fellow round
In the angel's tender garden
D
of the big plantation ground.
G
And his eyes they brightly sparkle
at the pretty things he view,
D
But a tear came and he whisper,
I want my parents too.
G
But then the angel's chief musician
teach that little boy a song,
Says, if only they be faithful,
D
they'll soon be coming along.
A
Am
D
So, my poor detached mourners,
let your hearts with Jesus rest,
And don't go to criticizing
G
the one what knows the best.
D
He hath given us many comforts,
he's got the right to take away.
A
Till the Lord be praised in glory forever,
G
D
G
D
let us pray.
