I have a father up in glory,
I have a father up in glory,
I have a father up in glory,
On the other shore.

Some bright day I'll go and see him,
Some bright day I'll go and see him,
Some bright day I'll go and see him
On the other shore.

That bright day may be tomorrow,
That bright day may be tomorrow,
That bright day may be tomorrow
On the other shore.

Won't that be a happy meeting,
Won't that be a happy meeting,
Won't that be a happy meeting,
Oh the other shore?

(Comment by Mr. McInturff: "Father, mother, sister, brother again.")
