I Had a Real Good Mother and Father Songtext
von Gillian Welch

I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test
And now are in bright glory
And are sleeping on the Savior′s breast


They set a good example for me
And they taught me how to pray
Now I truly converted
And walkin' on the narrow way

I know that if I can not meet them on high
Then how lonely I will be
For what good is my journey
If I miss out on eternity

I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test
And now they′re in bright glory
And are sleeping on the Savior's breast
