I had a real good mother and father

And they surely stood the test

And now theyre in bright glory

And are sleeping on the saviors breast



They set a good example for me

And they taught me how to pray

Now I truly converted

And walkin on the narrow way



I know that if I can not meet them on high

Then how lonely I will be

For what good is my journey

If I miss out on eternity



I had a real good mother and father

And they surely stood the test

And now theyre in bright glory

And are sleeping on the saviors breast
