I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay
G C/g G
And pensively stood by his tomb
F C Csus4 C F G C
When in a low whisper I heard something say:
G C Csus4 C
How sweetly I sleep here alone.
F C Csus4 C F G C
The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
* C G
And gathering storms may arise
F G C Csus4 C F G C
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul
* G C
The tears are all wiped from my eyes.

The call of my master compelled me from home
G C/g G
No kindred or relative nigh
F G C F G C
I met the contagion and sank to the tomb
* G C Csus4 C
My soul flew to mansion on high.

Go tell my companion and children most dear
G C/g G
To weep not for me now I'm gone
F G C Csus4 C F G C
The same hand that led me through seas most severe
G C Csus4 C
Has kindly assisted me home.
