Description

Billy Strings covers Ralph Stanley's 'I've Just Seen The Rock of Ages':

Oh, I was standing by the bedside
Where my fevered mother lay
When she called me close beside her
And I thought I heard her say:

I’ve just seen the rock of ages
Jacob’s ladder hanging down
I’ve just crossed the river of Jordan
Now, my son, I’m homeward bound

As we gathered all around her
Tears began to fill our eyes
Then she called me close beside her
And whispered softly her good-byes

Pine trees blowing all around her
Where for ever she will lay
There she’ll rest beside the fountain
There she’ll sleep beneath the clay
