traditional, learned from a recording of Estil C. Ball
lyrics
Father adieu, I am sorry for you
My heart is filled with trouble, so what can I do?
If I never see you anymore, 'til that last trumpet shall sound
Prepare to meet in heaven where parting is no more.
Mother adieu, I am sorry for you
My heart is filled with trouble, so what can I do?
If I never see you anymore, 'til that last trumpet shall sound
Prepare to meet in heaven where parting is no more.
Sister adieu, I am sorry for you
My heart is filled with trouble, so what can I do?
If I never see you anymore, 'til that last trumpet shall sound
Prepare to meet in heaven where parting is no more.
Brother adieu, I am sorry for you
My heart is filled with trouble, so what can I do?
If I never see you anymore, 'til that last trumpet shall sound
Prepare to meet in heaven where parting is no more.
