This song is transcribed from Ann Mayo Muir's singing on the album The Language of the Heart (1994).

(SING THAT) STEPHEN FOSTER SONG
by Teresina Huxtable
as sung by Ann Mayo Muir

          CHORUS:
          Is someone left to know the way,
          Protect us, bring us home again?
          Sit at table one more time,
          Sing that Stephen Foster song?

Those whose days were like your own
Are scattered now across the years,
Share no countries, plans, or times,
Though once we lived on common ground.

If we knew then of leaving home --
But tens and twelves are unafraid.
Foresight's dear and hindsight's not,
And far apart is how we've grown.

Roads and paths come overgrown,
Lose the time and lose the way.
Gather those around me now,
I set a table of my own.
