The Sacred Harp Sol

Sol

Double Springs Sacred Harp Singing is where
voices blend in a harmonious accord
We practiced a trio a harp to share
Sherburne shape notes rise from the covered
Time has flown as we reach the edge of town
Little songs everywhere filling air so sweet
jumping from the wagon feet hit the ground
running ahead never missing a beat
Picnic tables a woman holding her child
A man nips he thinks no one is looking
In church standing room only yet all smiles
A flirt in church He’s on the wrong footing
he keeps taping the woman on her toes
Song leader takes center square grace bestows
