Chords for Kate Wolf ~ I Had a Good Father and a Mother

[Em] The other song that I'd like to share with you is one that I got from visiting Carolyn and Sandy Payton this summer at Folk Legacy.
They hauled out their record collection, which was an amazing thing.
And [N] she played this track for me of a man named Washington [Em] Phillips, a street preacher from Chicago who's got an amazing voice.
And he [N] recorded this with a dosiola or a dulciola, some kind of tinkly little thing.
[C] [A] And I'm going to leave it in the vernacular because it's such a beautiful [E] song. _ _ _ _
I used to have a real [B] good mother and a father
_ And they certainly [E] stood the test _
And now they [A] are in bright glory
And [E] I know [B] their souls are [E] at rest
_ _ They laid a good [B] example to me
_ They taught me how [E] to pray
_ Now _ I'm truly [A]
converted
And [E] I'm walking [B] in a narrow [E]
way
_ _ Ooh, ooh, ooh, [B] _ ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, [E] ooh
_ _ _ Ooh, ooh, [A] ooh, ooh
_ _ [Em] Ooh, [B] ooh, [E]
ooh, ooh
Jesus, he said for you [B] to love one another
_ And he'd [E] love you
_ _ Then you will rightly [A] treat your neighbor
And [E] it won't [B] be hard for [E] you to do
And _ I know I'm so glad [B] salvation is free
It is free for [E] you and me
_ _ If we could only [A] live with Jesus
_ [E] How happy [B] we [E] would be
_ _ Ooh, ooh, ooh, [B] ooh
_ Ooh, _ ooh, ooh, [E] ooh
_ _ _ Ooh, ooh, [A] ooh, _ _ [Em] ooh
Ooh, [B] ooh, [E] ooh, _ ooh
And I know this whole round world [B] do not love me, no how
And it is on [E] account of sin
_ _ I am thankful [A] God is able
[E] For to give me [B] many [E] friends
_ _ I am thankful [A] God is able
_ [E] For to give me [B] many [E] friends
