Lyrics

Heading back home
I had to send my brother away
He used to Do the praying
but I'll do that today

We picked up his best suit
and with his apron he did lay
He’ll walk tall and proud again
when the trumpets play
When Gabriel's trumpets play

Now that you’re gone
and I got all this time alone
I’m just workin in the quarry
chiseling stone

In a border town just past nine
waiting on a train
Got a Prayer card against my chest
a heart half broke from pain

Mamas coming with me
o’ lord she’s been so brave
She held my hand shed a tear
and sang amazing grace
Oh, with such amazing grace

Now that you’re gone
and I got all this time alone
I’m just workin in the quarry
chiseling stone

Now that you’re gone
and I got all this time alone
I’m just workin in the quarry
I’m workin in the quarry
Oh, I’m workin in the quarry
chiseling stone
