(Bill Monroe/Peter Rowan)

The wind is blowing across the mountain 
Down on the valley way below 
It sweeps the grave of my darling 
When I die that's where I want to go 

Lord send the angels for my darling 
And take him to that home on high 
I'll wait my time out here on earth love 
And come to you when I die 

I hear a voice out in the darkness 
It calls and whispers through the pines 
I know it's my sweetheart  a-calling 
I hear him through the walls of time 

Lord send the angels for my darling 
And take him to that home on high 
I'll wait my time out here on earth love 
And come to you when I die 

Our names are carved upon a tombstone 
I promised you before you died 
Our love would bloom forever darling 
When we rest side by side 

Lord send the angels for my darling 
And take him to that home on high 
I'll wait my time out here on earth love 
And come to you when I die
