Friends of Mine
Good-morning, Brother Sunshine,
Good-morning, Sister Song, I beg your humble pardon
If you’ve waited very long.
I thought I heard you rapping, To shut you out were sin,
My heart is standing open, Won’t you
walk
right in?
Good-morning, Brother Gladness, Good-morning, Sister Smile,
They told me you were coming, So I waited on a while.
I’m lonesome here without you, A weary while it’s been,
My heart is standing open, Won’t you
walk right in?
Good-morning, Brother Kindness, Good-morning, Sister Cheer,
I heard you were out calling, So I waited for you here. Some way, I keep forgetting
I have to toil or spin
When you are my companions, Won’t you
walk right in?
James W. Foley.
