Merle Travis

Merle Robert Travis (November 29, 1917 – October 20, 1983) was an American country and Western singer, songwriter, and musician born in Rosewood, Kentucky. His lyrics often discussed the life and exploitation of coal miners. Among his many well-known songs are "Sixteen Tons", "Re-Enlistment Blues" and "Dark as a Dungeon". However, it is his masterful guitar playing and his interpretations of the rich musical traditions of his native Muhlenberg County, Kentucky for which he is best known today. "Travis picking", a syncopated style of finger picking, is named after him. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1977. more »

I'm on my way to those mansions fair
Over in the glory land
There to sing Gods praise and his glory share
Over in the glory land

Just over in the glory land
I'll join (yes join) the happy angels band
Over in the glory land
Just over in the glory land
There with (yes with) the mighty host I'll stand
Over in the glory land

What a joyful thought that my Lord Ill see
Over in the glory land
And the kindred say there forever I'll be
Over in the glory land

Just over in the glory land
I'll join (yes join) the happy angels band
Over in the glory land
Just over in the glory land
There with (yes with) the mighty host I'll stand
Over in the glory land

With the blood-washed throng I will shout and sing,
Just over in the glory land
Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King,
Just over in the glory land.

Just over in the glory land
There with (yes with) the mighty host I'll stand
Over in the glory land
