Kat,

That was wonderful. Now I'm going to have to learn "Utah Carroll" and sing that one for my daughters (and granddaughters).

Do you know "There'll Be No Blind Ones There" by Pete Roberts (AKA Pete Kuykendall)? There is another really sad song.

They tell me, Father, again tonight,
You'll wed another bride,
And you will hold her in your arms,
Where my poor mother died.

They say her name is Mary too,
The name my mother wore,
And do you think she'll love me too,
Like the one you loved before.

And is her footstep soft and light,
Her voice so soft and mild,
And do you think she'll love me too,
Your blind and helpless child.

Now Father let us kneel down here,
And to our Savior pray,
That God's right hand will lead you both,
Down life's long weary way.

The prayer was ended, and a song,
I'm weary now, she said,
He picked her up into his arms,
And put her into bed.

And as he turned to leave the room,
A mournful cry was given,
He turned to catch her last sweet smile,
His blind child was in Heaven.

They burried her by her mother's side,
And raised a marble fair,
And on it were these simple words,
There'll be no blind ones there.

Now tell me you can sing that one with dry eyes.

Thanks,

- Mark
