Me, my sisters and my mom used to sing this song all the time, so i know the words...but thats it, it goes...All along the old back road, people would stop to talk at her garden gate, while inside the family cried all through the night, because the old woman had passed away. My mom died Christmas night of 2005, and now me and my sister are going nuts trying to find this song...PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank You!!!

I am pretty sure it is a country song...that and oldies are all my used to listen to, so i am just assuming, I am positive though, that it is a female singer, and my sister thought my mom had mentioned it was Emmylou Harris but when i searched for her i did not find a song like that. We REALLY, TRULY, appreciate your time and effort you have put into this, Thank you very much!!! ~Jenn=0)

This song is called "Grandma's Song" and was on a compilation called "Country Sunrise". It is likely out of print now, but it was definitely on tape somewhere. You might check amazon.com. p.s. I only signed up to give you this info.

Gail Davies is the artist who sang it originally though I'm not sure if she sang the version I knew.
