On the Ohoopee Banks I Stand—
My Tears are falling to the sand.
For my companion is called away,
Oh, never, never to return.

She was a Wife when in Distress
A mother to the Motherless,
But God saw best for us to part,
And now it grieves me to my Heart.

Her children round her dying bed,
I was on my Knees close to her head
To hear her scream at every breath
“Oh, God, have mercy and send down death.”

It makes three wives I’ve Lost this way,
Oh, God, have mercy on me, I pray.
Such women pure and good and kind
Are God’s great gift to all mankind.

Her little children are left behind
Which thoughts doth often trouble my mind
To see them run about and play
And to know their mother has been called away.

Her sister has a Mother’s care
For the infant child she loved so dear.
She is so kind to all the rest,
She has put the child to her own breast.

The neighbors have been kind and good
To try to comfort as best they could,
But God alone knows what to do
In times like this as we go through.

Without her smile, her helping hand
I must press on as best I can,
But some sweet day in Heaven Above
We’ll meet again in lasting love.
