I Once't Had a Father

Cat. #1035 (MFH #494) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 28, 1969

VERSE 1
I once't had a Father
But now I have none
He's gone to that home on high
Prepare me O, Lord, to sail on that ship
Ship that's sailin' now

CHORUS:
O, th weeks are so long
An' th days are so sad
That they seem like years to me
Prepare me O Lord, to sail on that ship
Ship that's sailin' now

Same as above verse for Mother, Brother, and Sister.
