A stone rolls along on the river bed, many a year since blood was shed
He was just a boy when his mamma cried and he rode to the east that night
The stone is smooth as it rolls along every bend and turn and water fall
Worn by time in the flowing stream as it rolls down to the sea on the River bed

By candle light she prays for mercy like a flowing stream to wear his heart down smooth as a stone
And in the slow tumbling on and on lord, let it be said let my boy return to me smooth as a stone on the river bed

Seventeen,  a rough and rugged son since he took a drink lord, he came undone
His mamma prayed he'd see the light and be baptized by River side
But the devil stole the jagged stone and hurled it far from the water flow and with the hand he held lord he went for broke the night he crossed the line and he took a life

By candle light she prays for mercy like a flowing stream to wear his heart down smooth as a stone
And in the slow tumbling on and on lord, let it be said let my boy return to me smooth as a stone on the river bed

But she died long before she'd seen him return
Before He crossed back over every bridge he burned
Said mamma I'm not the boy I was then he laid a stone down, said he laid a smooth stone down upon her grave.

Upon her grave
