Henry Clay Work - We Are Coming, Sister Mary

Henry Clay Work - We Are Coming, Sister Mary

On a stormy night in winter, br When the winds blew cold and wet, br I heard some strains of music br That I never can forget. br I was sleeping in the cabin, br Where liv'd Mary fair and young, br When a light shone in the window, br And a band of singers sung. br br We are coming sister Mary, br We are coming bye and bye, br Be ready sister Mary, br For the time is drawing nigh. br br I tried to tell my Mary, br But my tongue would not obey, br When the song so strange had ended, br And the singers flown away, br As I watch'd I heard a rustling, br Like the rustling of a wing, br And beside my Mary's pillow br Very soon I heard them sing. br br Then again I called my Mary, br But my sorrow was complete br For I found her heart of kindness br Had forever ceas'd to beat br And I still am very lonely br From summer round to spring br And I oft in midnight slumber br Think I hear the same ones sing.
