Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hazel Jane Dickens (June 1, 1935 – April 22, 2011) was an American bluegrass singer, songwriter, double bassist and guitarist. Her music was characterized not only by her high, lonesome singing style, but also by her provocative pro-union, feminist songs. Cultural blogger John Pietaro noted that "Dickens didn’t just sing the anthems of labor, she lived them and her place on many a picket line, staring down gunfire and goon squads, embedded her into the cause." The New York Times extolled her as "a clarion-voiced advocate for coal miners and working people and a pioneer among women in bluegrass music." With Alice Gerrard, Dickens was one of the first women to record a bluegrass album. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Last week I played with a tiny baby
I thought how soon he'd be a man
But the day came last time
Rock his cradle he's 

Oh here today, and gone tomorrow
That's how life in this world is
Oh here today and gone tomorrow
There's a better world than ths

Daddy worked hard to raise a family
Then his time come
We gathered here for celebration
But God called him, his work is done

Oh here today, and gone tomorrow
That's how life in this world is
Oh here today and gone tomorrow

Oh the bluebirds sing out in my garden
Summer days are here to stay
But autumn came and winter followed
My flowers died, the birds flew away
