lyrics

My mother’s gone to view that land, to view that land, to view that land
My mother’s gone to view that land
And sing them cheeriful songs.

Way over yonder on the other side of Jordan
Way over yonder and singin’ them cheeriful songs

My father’s gone to view that land….

I always thought to view that land…
