Artist/Band: Statler Brothers
Lyrics for Song: Blackwood Brothers by the Statler Brothers
Lyrics for Album: Thank You World [Mercury] [1974]



(Don Reid)



We all four grew up together in a small Virginia country town

And for some strange reason God only knows we got to singing around

And about twice a year at the National Guard Armory

Or the old school house we'd go see

The Blackwood Brothers who were coming to town

To sing especially for me.



They always drew a crowd of young folk and old women

And men with the mortgage on their homes

Farmers and teachers rich men and preachers

The old school house was full when they would come

And we bought up every album every picture every single

Their autographs were the only things free

But the main thing they were selling was Jesus and good singing

In that old school house where the Blackwoods sang for me.



And they would sing (and they would sing)

Hide me old blest Rock of Ages every day will be Sunday by and by

Heavenly love inside the gates give the world a smile each day

They were all peace like a river to my soul.



And I wanna cross (I wanna cross) that chilly Jordan (chilly Jordan)

And I wanna be more and more like Jesus every day

Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham at the old country church

God made a way for me that's what the good book says



How many times (how many times) have we heard them sing these songs

So many times (so many times) they've been our idols for so long

And God if there's an old school house in heaven let me be

Somewhere close where I can hear RW sing for me.



The road the road the road of calvary

And God if there's an old school house in heaven let me be

Somewhere close where I can hear the Blackwoods sing for me...
