“Come On Up to Bright Glory”
Description
"You don't hear me prayin' here, you can't find me nowhere/Come on up to bright glory, I'll be waitin' up there" Other verses zip in "when I preach," "when I shout," etc.
Notes
This is, of course, the song from which the freedom song "If You Miss Me at the Back of the Bus" was adapted; interestingly enough, the latter seems to have originated in Alabama, where this song was collected. - PJS
