Barbara Mauritz and The Earl Scruggs Revue - Where The Lilies Bloom

Beautiful title song of the 1974 film and book of the same name. Four Appalachian children are left orphaned when their father dies. They keep his death a secret so the family won't be split up. They support themselves by wild crafting.

@TheLiveOak, I've been looking for YEARS. Amazon has used VHS copies for sale; wish they'd re-issue it in DVD!

@TheLiveOak

You are very welcome. It is so beautiful. Try "Lamb - The Vine" for an equally haunting song by Barbara. Thank you for your feedback. :-)

@zzenzero I LOVE this! Thanks for posting it. By sheer coincidence, I finished reading the Bill and Vera Cleaver book a few days ago. I saw the film when it first came out, but have been unable to find it on Netlix.

Thank you for your comment and interest. Here are the lyrics. :-)

I long to be where peace fills the air

The wind sings softly in my ear

I can hear the song that calls me there

Where the lilies bloom

I close my eyes and I can see

A vision fair as it can be

To run through the green where I can be

Where the lilies bloom
