Dulcimer Song

The parlor piano
around which we sang
the wheezing old organ
that led us in hymns

Daddy played the dulcimer
while Mama sang loud
and these were our Sundays
in our little farm town

When we worship
in the chapel
hear the singing
angels inside
When we sit down
to our supper
hearing the humming
insects outside

Sundays were for singing
preacher telling us how to live
But I had my secret ways
I went out to worship
in the wheatfield
under the sun

When we worship
in the chapel
hear the singing
angels inside
When we sit down
to our supper
hearing the humming
angels outside

angels outside
