When it's decoration day up in heaven
There's a bouquet I'm longing to see
There's a flower somewhere in this bouquet
And mean's all the world to me

Tonight the old home place's lonely
Since mother has been called away
And I know I can never more see her
Till we meet on that decoration day

* Refrain

I remember the night the angels called her
To live on that beautiful shore
It left us so lonely without her
It can never be home anymore

* Refrain
