Sister Susan, by the time she was four She could climb up just about any tree From the highway you could see our house She would look out as the cars drove past And the family was always glad you came Said the family was always glad you came We played football on the gravel drive I would take it long overtime West Virginia, the stakes were high The ball would fly through the sky, so bright And the family was always glad you came Said the family was always glad you came We may never pass this way again But I'll never let you down, no I'll always let you in I'll never let you down, no I'll always let you in And the family was always glad you came Joseph Leon was taken first Mama, you know she lost her mind It was mercy that held them close And it was mercy that left us behind And the family was always glad you came Said the family was always glad you came It was mercy, it was mercy It was mercy, it was mercy It was mercy, it was mercy
