about

Traditional tune from Kentucky fiddler Luther Strong. The Harmony Sisters wrote the words.

lyrics

Glory at the meetinghouse, glory in the fields
Glory to the birds, the little fishes and the eels
Glory to the sunshine, glory to the rain
Glory to the fiddler when he plays the tune again.

Glory to the old folks, glory to the young
Glory to the sinners who are having all the fun
Glory to the sunshine, glory to the rain
Glory to the fiddler when she plays the tune again.

Glory to the flowers, glory to the trees
Glory to the mountains and the rivers and the sea
Glory to the sunshine, glory to the rain
Glory to the fiddler when she plays the tune atain.

Glory at the meetinghouse, glory in the fields
Glory to the birds, the little fishes and the eels
Glory to the sunshine, glory to the rain
Glory to the fiddlers when they play the tune again.
