EVERY BUSH AND TREE (Otis Pierce) I hear the soft wings a-blowin' In every bush and tree. I know my mothers a-waiting In her heavenly home for me. I was born in old Missouri. My family was poor. My mother's name was Laura And my daddy's name was Joe. Mama, she called me to her bedside Saying, "Son, I've got to go. We'll go and meet again up yonder Where the parting will be no more." (Repeat first verse.) Now, Daddy went back home to North Fork And he left us here all alone. The sheriff came by one evening And he took us to an orphan's home. So come all you orphan children, Who stay down here below, We'll go and meet again up yonder Where the parting will be no more. (Repeat first verse.) Recorded by Jim Ringer on "Waiting for the Hard Times to Go," 1972 and by John McCutcheon on "Wind That Shakes the Barley," 1977. @death @dying @tearjerker filename[ BUSHTREE XX Feb07 |
