Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wonder can you hear
Hear the church bell tonin'?
I wonder can you hear
Hear the church bell tonin'?
I wonder can you hear
Hear the church bell tonin'?
Way over yonder, yeah
Way over yonder
In the new buryin' ground
[Verse 2]
I wonder can you see
See the hearse wheel rollin'?
Wonder can you see
See the hearse wheel rollin'?
I wonder can you see, oh
See the hearse wheel rollin'?
Way over yonder
Way over yonder
In the new buryin' ground
[Verse 3]
It kept on rollin'
Till it rolled my father
It kept on rollin'
Ah, yes it did
Till it rolled my father
{(My father to the graveyard)}
Kept on rollin', yes
Till it rolled my father
{(My father to the graveyard)}
Way over yonder
Way over yonder
Way over yonder
And I've got a brother
Way over there
And I've got loved ones
Way over there, yes
And I've got loved ones
Way over there
Way over yonder
Way over there, yeah
Way over there
Way over there
In the new buryin' ground
