Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

William Smith Monroe (; September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass".The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. He described the genre as "Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound." more »

Oh the home above (oh the home above) so far away (so far away)
That's where we pray (As ) we'll live someday (we'll )
In the home above (in ) beyond the starlight sky (beyond)
Where the soul of man (where) will never die (will)

I'm ready to leave (I'm ) this world below (this )
To the home above (to ) I'm ready to go (I'm)
Then mother will say (then) welcome home our son (welcome)
In a heavenly home (in ) our life has just begun (our)

Oh my mother and dad (oh) have gone on before (have)
They're waiting for me (they're) on the heavenly shore (on)
I long to see (I ) and shake their hand (and)
When I'm safe at home (when) as they had planned (as)

Oh the beautiful land (in ) where we'll never die (where)
