I just heard this track from Vince Gill. I heard it many years ago when it was released and tried to get it on CD but couldn't
I finally got it on an MP3 and have listened to it again for the first time in many years.
Man, this is a really amazing track. I think I want to have this played at my funeral. I'm a real sucker for gospel songs done in the bluegrass / old time country style but this is just awesome.
If I remember correctly, I think Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs sang this at the funeral of Keith Whitley.
To quote my musical hero, Gram Parsons; "Sometimes all you can do is sing gospel music".
I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
(Chorus)
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered 'round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Repeat (Chorus)
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.
