Go March Along

GO MARCH ALONG (Traditional) Side 1, Band 6. Since 1973, I have been travelling as often as I can to the Arkansas Ozarks, and now the area is like a second home to me. On one of my first trips to the area, I recorded this song and many others from a stone mason, Glen Branscum, of Onia, Arkansas. Glen is fond of old brush-arbor camp meeting hymns, and he remembers hearing many of them sung by his grandfather, who was a preacher. It is impossible for me to sing "Go March Along" without picturing Glen in my mind. He usually wears a hat, but when he begins one of these hymns, he immediately takes off his hat in reverence. (CBP) Go march along, go march along, I will see you again, I will see you again. Go march along, go march along, I will see you on that Judgement Day. My father's gone to glory, I will see him again, I will see him again. Go march along, go march along, I will see you on that Judgement Day. My mother's gone to glory, I will see her again, I will see her again. Go march along, go march along, I will see you on that Judgement Day. (Similarly: brother, sister, etc.)
