WAY OVER IN THE PROMISED LAND Sung by: Orville McInturff Recorded in Marshall, AR 8/6/62 Click here to listen to the original recording I have a father in the promised land, And I hope someday we'll all get there, Away over in the promised land. Away over in the promised land, Away over in the promised land, And I hope someday we'll all get there, Away over in the promised land. I have a sister in the promised land, I have a sister in the promised land, And I hope someday we'll all get there, Away over in the promised land. (Comment by Mr. McInturff: "So that's . . . Just like I told you, that's a round song--continues on father, mother, sister, brother, and so forth.") |
