I'll Meet You in the Morning

by Grandpa Jones

on Grandpa Jones Remembers The Brown's Ferry Four (1966)

I will meet you in the morning by the bright river side
When all sorrow has drifted away
I'll be standing at the portals when the gates open wide
At the close of that long dreary day

I'll meet, you in the morning
With a 'How, do you do?'
We'll sit down, by the river
And with rapture old acquaintance renew

You'll know, me in the morning
By the smiles, that I wear
When I meet you, in the morning
In the city that is built four square

I will meet you in the morning at the sweet by and by
And exchange the old clothes for a gown
There will be no disappointment and nobody shall die
In that land where the sun goeth down

I'll meet, you in the morning
With a 'How, do you do?'
We'll sit down, by the river
And with rapture old acquaintance renew
You'll know, me in the morning
By the smiles, that I wear
When I meet you, in the morning
In the city that is built four square

I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way
On the streets of that city of gold
Where we all can be together and be happy for aye
While the years and the ages shall roll

I'll meet, you in the morning
With a 'How, do you do?'
We'll sit down, by the river
And with rapture old acquaintance renew
You'll know, me in the morning
By the smiles, that I wear
When I meet you, in the morning
In the city that is built four square
