So, at one point I had a CD that was a compilation of Ralph Stanley's work entitled "Great High Mountain." It had a great tune on it called "Turn Back, Turn Back," which he apparently learned from the Mullins Family. I have since lost that CD, but still remember the tune, and was wondering if anyone knows the lyrics. A bit of internet research says that it was written by a Rev. Enoch Rose.

I found this video:

which has one of the verses, and also remember a verse like this:

My mind went back to the days of my childhood
When I went to church in the village square
The pews were full and the ?something? was ?something?
The people came to worship there

The chorus is

Turn back, turn back, you wayward pilgrim
Come back, come back, to the peaceful shore
Turn back, turn back, for the savior's waiting
To rescue you from the rank of woe

Anyone know the others? It's a fantastic song.
