As the holiday season approaches my heart turns toward home…
I remember when I was a lass of three or four
And my brother was just a small wee lad
Every night after supper as the sun went down my dad would get
Out this old fiddle he had…he’d make up a tune with the tap of his foot
And we’d all join in—the best that we could
Glory Glory Hallelujah and God Bless our Home were two of the songs
That I learned real good—growing up as kid back home.
On Saturday nights some friends would come ‘round
We’d have an old-fashioned sing and bring the roof down
Mamma played hymns on the worn out grand
Daddy was the king playin’ fiddlin’ man
We sang every church song that daddy ever knew…
I Love to Tell the Story and The Old Rugged Cross were two of the songs
That I learned real good—growing up as kid back home
“Train up a child in the way he should go even when he
is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
