ROUNDED UP IN GLORY

I've been thinking today,
As my thoughts began to stray,
Of your memory to me worth more than gold.
As you ride across the plain,
'Mid the sunshine and the rain-
You'll be rounded up in glory by-and-by.

Cho.
You'll be rounded up in glory by-and-by (twice)
When the milling time is o'er
And you will stampede no more
When he rounds us up within the master's fold.

As you ride across the plain
With the cowboys that have fame,
And the storms and the lightening flash by;
We shall meet to part no more
Upon the golden shore
When he rounds us up in glory by-and-by.

May we lift our voices high
To that sweet by-and-by,
And be known by the brand of the Lord;
For his property we are,
And he will know us from afar
When he rounds us up in glory by-ans-by.
Cho.

Music by Arthur A. Fox, words sent to John A. and Alan Lomax by C. C. Staley. Printed, with music, in Lomax and Lomax, "Cowboy Songs," 1916 (1938 rev.), p. 330-332.
The relationship to various spirituals and gospel songs is evident.

This song has been sung by Gene Autry, the Sons of the Pioneers, Tex Ritter, and R.W. Hampton. Gene Autry's sound clip is HERE. The Fifes mention "the well-known revival hymn 'Rounded Up in Glory,' copyrighted and popularized in the 1920's by Oscar J. Fox and John A. Lomax" (Songs of the Cowboys by N. Howard ("Jack") Thorp, p. 70)
