On the banks of the Alabama
Autumn falls into spring
And a day is always longer than it seems
White camellias, winter blooms
When summer comes I will think of youThere will be a shining river
There for you and there for me
There will be a sweet forever
There we will meet, and we will sing
Glory hallelujahs
Golden bells will ring
There all will be forgiven
In that land called sorrowfreeDying free is different
For each and every one
Beholdin on to nothin and no one
Ivanhoe to ease the pain
Birds know where to go when it rainsThere will be a shining river
There for you and there for me
There will be a sweet forever
There we will meet, and we will sing
Glory hallelujahs
Golden bells will ring
There all will be forgiven
In that land called sorrowfreeA pair of good luck pennies
A broken watch and chain
Oh the things that neighbors sometimes bring
Food for funerals, flowers for sickness
And all the little things in betweenThere will be a shining river
There for you and there for me
There will be a sweet forever
There we will meet, and we will sing
Glory hallelujahs
Golden bells will ring
There all will be forgiven
In that land called sorrowfree
