Levon Helm says goodbye - Gloryland - Michigan Theatre - March 19, 2012

This song is from the Levon Helm Band show at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor on March 19th, 2012. The band closed the show with "The Weight", but Levon Helm, Amy Helm, Teresa Williams, and Larry Campbell returned to the stage to perform this song. I recorded the song that night on my phone and wanted to post it for other fans in tribute to this amazing man. He certainly touched our life as he did many other fans. I was hit very hard with the news today. I post this song with love from Drew, Jill, and Marie.

Gloryland:

If you have friends in Gloryland,
Who left because of pain
Thank God up there, they'll die no more
They'll suffer not again.

So weep not friends, I'm goin' home
Up there we'll die no more
No coffins will be made up there
No graves on that bright shore

The doctor will not have to call
The undertaker, no
There'll be no pain up there to bear
Just walk the streets of gold

So weep not friends, I'm goin' home
Up there we'll die no more
No coffins will be made up there
No graves on that bright shore
