We Shall All Be Reunited

The Freight Hoppers ~ We Shall All Be Reunited

Where is now my father's family
That was here so long ago
Sitting 'round the kitchen fireside
Brightened by the ruddy glow

Chorus:
We shall all be reunited
In that land beyond the skies
Where there'll be no separation
No more parting, no more sighs

Some have gone to lands far distant
And with others made their home
Some upon the world of waters
All their lives have chose to roam

Chorus

Some have gone from us forever
For with us they could not stay
They have all dispersed and wandered
Gone away, so far away

Chorus

We shall meet beyond the river
In that land of pure delight
Where no sickness or no sorrow
Will our joys there ever blight

We shall all be reunited
In that land beyond the skies
Where there'll be no separation
No more parting, no more sighs

No more parting, no more sighs
