RISE, OH FATHERS/NO TIME TO TARRY HERE. We learned these two camp meeting songs from Loman Cansler of Kansas City. A fine collector of Missouri folk songs, Loman has recorded for Folkways. He collected these two from his grandfather James Reuben Broyles.
RISE, OH FATHERS, RISE
Rise, oh fathers, rise.
Let's go meet Him in the sky.
For we'll hear the angels singing
In that morning.
Yes I really do believe that
Just before the end of time
We will hear the angels singing
In that morning.
Rise, oh mothers, rise, ...
Rise, oh sisters, rise, ...

NO TIME TO TARRY HERE
No time to tarry here,
No time to wait for you,
No time to tarry here
For I'm on my journey home.
Brothers, oh fare you well,
Brothers, oh fare you well,
Brothers, oh fare you well,
For I'm on my journey home.
No time to tarry here,
No time to wait for you,
No time to tarry here,
For I'm on my journey home.
Neighbors ...
Sinners ...
