Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Mean Mary James performing "Fields Of Glory" a song written by she and her mother, Jean James...at First Night Winchester festival in Winchester, VA.....New Year's Eve 2013.
Fields of Glory written by Mean Mary James and her mother Jean James
The chapel on the hill is ringing out a call
It’s saying all you sinner’s come or get ready for a fall
I’ll be there in a faded dress but I’ll be looking sweet
And there won’t be a soul who’ll care there’s no shoes on my feet
Chorus:
Up the mountain of fury
Cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow
I’ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end
Of life’s great story
I will walk barefoot
Through the fields of glory
I was born a simple girl and a simple life I lead
And there’s not too many folks around who can say that’s all they need
Don’t mean to brag about the peaceful, simple life I choose
But the roads don’t seem so rough when you’re not wearing high-heeled shoes
Chorus
Now they say that River Jordan is too long a swim to dare
But they used to say our sins were just too big a cross to bear
And you know you’re bound to wander down a dusty winding road
So the more you give, the less you have, the lighter your load
Chorus"
