I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Chorus:
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the father and son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish i could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Repeat chorus
