A wonderful, HAPPY song for my Grandfather who recently passed away Saturday May 11 2013.
This song was released when he was a wee boy but I remember hearing Papa's little radio late into the night- when I was a child- and he would have it tuned in to 98.1 WBRF. a great little station from Galax Virginia. That station still plays all kinds of old tunes to this day! I loved the quiet of my grandparents house and those summer evenings. Windows open. A breeze here n there. But the sound of Papa's little radio...wow... And-I dont know what he thought about music in general but I know he enjoyed the old time stuff . He also liked Hank Williams (Sr) and other "classic" country & folkie-like tunes. I miss those days. I would give anything to go back but- Im sure my Grandfather is smiling his biggest , warmest smile right now! And Im sure he hears songs we cant imagine. But lets hope we can hear them too someday. I believe in these kind of things. My Papa made his peace in the end and passed peacefully. He accepted the mysterious side that we all wonder about. He is happy. I know this. He wanted to be out of the pain and into a better place. He said so.
I hope viewers / listeners find happiness in this tune and thank you for listening. If you would like to know more about the Carter Family please see wikipedia or simply google for more joy! A great old time group. Happiness to you all!! SMILE. LOVE. And know that you are loved~"Jen",,,and here are the lyrics! ♥

I've gotta home in that rock don't you see
I've gotta home in that rock don't you see
I've gotta home in that rock just beyond the mountain top
Hide thee old rock of ages clef for me

God gave Noah the rainbow sign don't you see
God gave Noah the rainbow sign don't you see
God gave Noah the rainbow sign no more water but for next time
Hide thee old rock of ages clef for me

Poor old Lazarus poor as I don't you see
Poor old Lazarus poor as I don't you see
Poor old Lazarus poor as I when he died he had a room on high
Hide thee old rock of ages clef for me

East and west the fire will roll hide thy me
East and west the fire will roll hide thy me
East and west the fire will roll how will it be for my poor soul
Hide thee old rock of ages clef for me

When this world's all on fire hide thy me
When this world's all on fire hide thy me
When this world's all on fire let thy bosom be my pillow
Hide thee old rock of ages clef for me
