Lyrics
Verse 1
It was way down deep South during the reconstruction days
When everybody needed help in every kind of way
Traveling in an oxen cart and picking an old guitar
Was the Reverend Everette Beverly and Sister Anna Lar
They went t' all-day singin's with the dinner on the ground
When Sister Anna Laura sang no one could quieten her down
The folk would spread the word around, they'd come from near and far
To hear the Reverend Everett Beverly and Sister Anna Laura
Chorus
Fa mi so so la fa ni so so la
Fa mi so so la fa so
They sing the fa so High and the so so low
Fa mi so so la fa so
When they would leave the singin's, folk would follow them out of town
They kept wantin' da' hear them singin' that good soul-saving sound
Their songs echoed the valleys, just like the heavenly choir
With the Reverend Everett Beverly and Sister Anna Lar
Repeat Chorus
For years and years they traveled and their singing was heard
While Sister Anna Laura sang the Reverend spread the Word
And the family recollection remembers who they are
The Great Great grandpa Beverly and Grandma Anna Lar
Repeat Chorus
Chorus 2
Fa mi so so la fa mi so so la
Fa mi so so la fa so
They sing the fa so High
And the so so low
Fa mi so so la fa so
Fa mi so so la fa so
