BACK PORCH OF GLORY
by Joel Mabus

In the songs that's sung of heaven and the stories that are told
We'll be wearing robes of white and the slippers made of gold
But all I need is dungarees and I won't wear shoes at all
When I'm sitting on the back porch of glory

[chorus]
Save me a place ... on the back porch of glory
With a hound dog and a fiddle and a huckleberry pie
No room for my soul … In a mansion made of gold
I'll meet you on the back porch of glory

A soft breeze is blowing up the hill and through the pines
The back door's always open where the honeysuckle twines
The banjo always plays in tune and never breaks a string
When you're pickin' on the back porch of glory

[chorus]

Mama's frying chicken like only mama could
And Grandpa's in his rocker with a piece of whittlin' wood
And daddy plays the fiddle while the mockingbirds all sing
It's a picture from the back porch of glory

I'd love to find the words to a song that has "Honey, did you smell that honeysuckle vine last night? It was smellin' so sweet in the moonlight. *'round my cabin door*" in it. I last heard it in 1948 and it was old then. Thanks, Helen Oates
