"The Introduction: The Everly Family (1952)" lyrics
Roll along, along Jordan, roll me on my way
Roll along, along Jordan, roll me on today
I'm gonna ride away from here
I'm gonna ride away from here
Darkness fallin', Gabriel's callin'
Gonna ride away from here
Roll along, along Jordan, roll me on my way...
"Well a great big howdy doo to all of our good friends and neighbours. This is Dad Everly, talking for the Everly family and we're gonna play and sing you some songs neighbours. Family style, also country style. And we got the gang on deck: mum, Don, baby boy Phil. And you know mum we-we kind of ought to tell the folks just how old these youngsters are, some of the folks prob'ly don't know. And Don, our oldest boy, is fifteen years old. Phil's thirteen and course me and mum, we quit telling our age a long time ago."
(Mum Everly laughs and dad joins in)
Roll along, along Jordan, roll me on today
I'm gonna ride away from here
I'm gonna ride away from here
Darkness fallin', Gabriel's callin'
Gonna ride away from here
Roll along, along Jordan, roll me on my way...
