Subject: Lyr Add: WE SHALL ALL BE REUNITED (Doc Watson?)
I haven't played this since the 80s:


WE SHALL ALL BE REUNITED
(Alfred Karnes)

Where is now my father's family
They were here so long ago
Seated round the old home fireside
Brightened by the ruddied glow.

CHORUS
We shall all be reunited
In that land beyond the sky
Where there'll be no separations
No more partings, no more sighs.

Some have gone to lands far distant
And with others made their home
Some upon the earth have wandered
All their lives have chose to roam.

Some have gone from us forever
For with us they could not stay
They have all dispersed and wandered
Gone away, so far away.

We shall meet beyond the river
In that land of pure delight
Without sickness or our sorrows
We'll have joys ever bright.
