D 	  	  	  	  	  	 D
In the old church yard where the faithful gather 
D 	  	  	  	 A
There's a place they have left for me 
D
By the old oak tree were my folks lie buried 
D 	  	 A 	  	  	 D
There's a place they have left for me 

D
I'm going there to meet my Savior 
G 	  	  	 D
I've got a mansion in the sky 
D 	  	  	 
Family and friends will be there waiting 
D 	  	 A 	 D
We'll be together by-and-by 

(same for the rest of the song)

When they lay me there this old body will crumble 
In the place by the old oak tree 
But when Jesus comes there'll be a new body 
In the place they have left for me 

I'm going there to meet my Savior 
I've got a mansion in the sky 
Family and friends will be there waiting 
We'll be together by-and-by 

On that morning when the Saints all gather 
And the souls of the dead go free 
Then will Jesus come and open up Heaven 
Where a place is prepared for me 

I'm going there to meet my Savior 
I've got a mansion in the sky 
Family and friends will be there waiting 
We'll be together by-and-by

In this world of sin where troubles are many 
There's a place that I long to see 
In the old church yard were the folks lie buried 
There's a place they have left for me
