(Bluegrass Yodel #2)


I'm walking ----------(echo)
walking up on high ----- (repeat)
high on Jerusalem Ridge (repeat)

Can you hear my Lord?
and what I say,
I'm walking up to your glory gate.
singing for the rock of ages----

(mandolin solo)

I'm singing------- (echo)
singing up on high (repeat)
high on Jerusalem Ridge (repeat)

Can you see my Lord
above the clouds
playing your gospels
playing them loud

(banjo solo)

I'm talking-------- (echo)
talking up on high (repeat)
high on Jerusalem Ridge (repeat)

Can hear me Lord
talking to you,
giving my soul
to play your blues

(guitar solo)

I'm dancing-------- (echo)
dancing up on high (repeat)
high on Jerusalem Ridge (repeat)

Can you see me Lord
dancing for eternity
playing for St. Peter
sitting on the rock of ages

(fiddle solo)

I'm praying-------- (echo)
praying up on high (repeat)
high on Jerusalem Ridge (repeat)

Can you hear me Lord
can you hear what I say
I'm walking right to your glory gate
praying for the rock of ages----


Praying for the rock of ages----(echo)
high on Jerusalem Ridge



hymn written in the vain of acoustic style bluegrass music.
