Cemetery Road
Side by side the graveyards stand
One is old one is grand.
The one that’s old the age you can tell
By the trees that stand and the trees that fell.
The one that’s new the age you can tell
By the dates on the stones and the grass cut well.
Side by side the graveyards stand
One is old one is grand.
In the one that’s old the gravestones are many
The headstones tall and the headstones heavy.
In the one that’s new the graves are not so many
The headstone short and not so heavy.
Side by side the graveyards stand
One is old one is grand
In the one that’s old the dates are worn
Form the eighteen hundreds till the nineteen born
In the one that’s new the dates engraved
Read nineteen hundred to the present day.
Side by side the graveyards stand
One is old and one is grand.
