What a joy you are Ms Welch, your songs and voice combine to speak to my heart, my sense of longing for love, friendship and humanity in a unique blend of art and emotional therapy. Thank you please don’t put it on the shelf, this world needs you.
Whoops, my bad! Sorry -I usually put a bit more research in before posting stuff. Have since heard the Washington Phillips version, which is pretty awe-inspiring.
I had a real good mother and father And they surely stood the test And now they're in bright glory And are sleeping on the saviors breast They set a good example for me And they taught me how to pray Now I truly converted And walkin' on the narrow way I know that if I can not meet them on high Then how lonely I will be For what good is my journey If I miss out on eternity
@sgrady34 - It's a Will Oldham (better known as Palace or Bonnie "Prince" Billy) song, from his Palace Brothers album "There Is No One Who WIll Take Care Of You".
brings me to tears listening to this greatness, absolutely awesome and inspiring music
Her voice is so authentic, not many could translate that joy & grief that Washington Phillips had. Respect

it is definitely not a Bonnie Prince Billy Song look up Washington Phillips, It was recorded in he 20s!
agreed!
I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test
And now they're in bright glory
And are sleeping on the saviors breast
They set a good example for me
And they taught me how to pray
Now I truly converted
And walkin' on the narrow way
I know that if I can not meet them on high
Then how lonely I will be
For what good is my journey
If I miss out on eternity
It is definitely NOT a Bonnie Prince Billy song it is VERY old!
It was first recorded in the 20s, but it is much older!
