Dust On The Bible (1959)
Kitty Wells with the country gospel song 'We Buried Her Beneath the Willow'. Songwriters were Karl Davis & Taylor Hartford.
Lyric:
One day an angel came down from heaven
An envoy of our God above
From this great world to choose a token
That all his throng in heaven would love.
We buried her beneath the willow
With heads bowed low we walked away
God needed her to sing in heaven
We'll meet again on that bright day.
--- Instrumental ---
A soft song fell within his hearing
He picked our girl, her soul, her voice
Today our partner sings in heaven
God praised the angel for his choice.
We buried her beneath the willow
With heads bowed low we walked away
God needed her to sing in heaven
We'll meet again on that bright day...
Years ago while we were touring America someone told us we were told Kitty sang this because she had lost a child in real life....certainly a sincere sounding version. Super backing too.
