Re: BG: SEEKING LYRICS TO A ROBIN BUILT A NEST ON DADDY'S GRAVE

Did you find the lyrics yet?  I am looking.  I guess I could listen to the song and write them down.  Sorry to hear about your dad.

Hi, my father died on Sept. 4, 2005.  Dad had a passion for bluegrass music, especially Ralph Stanley's music (he left behind a large library of Mr. Stanley's music).  My brother arranged to have local singers from Green Mt., NC to sing three of Dad's favorite songs.  I am putting together a scrape book from Dad's funeral and I am including the lyrics of those three songs. The songs are:

1. Go Rest High On That Mountain

2. I'm Using My Bible For A Road Map

3. A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy's Grave (By Ralph Stanley)

 

I have found the lyrics for the first two songs but I have not been successful in finding the lyrics for Ralph Stanley's,  A Robin Built A Nest On Daddy's Grave.

 

I live in Virginia and haven't been able to contact the singers who sang at the funeral.  I am hoping that you can help me get a copy of the lyrics to Ralph Stanley's song.

 

Please let me know if you can be of some assis! tance to me.

Thanks and have a blessed day!
