The Hee Haw Gospel Quartet performs "Gone Home"Live on Hee Haw

The Hee Haw Gospel Quartet performs "Gone Home"Live on Hee Haw.

The Hee Haw Gospel Quartet - Almost always closed the show's last segment. Clark, Owens, Grandpa Jones, and Kenny Price (Sometimes Tennessee Ernie Ford, replaces Kenny Price)would sing a gospel hymn. Several of their performances were released as recordings. Joe Babcock took over as lead singer after Owens left the show, and Ray Burdette took over as bass singer after the death of Kenny Price; but the Quartet was not featured as often from that point on. However, the show still closed with a gospel song—if not by the Quartet, then by either the entire cast, a guest gospel artist, or cast member Lulu Roman (a gospel artist in her own right).

Ricky Skaggs Gone Home Lyrics

All of my friends that I loved yesterday

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have)

The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home. (they have.)

 

They've joined the heavenly fold

They're walking the streets of pure gold

They left one by one as their work here was done

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home. (they have.)

 

Life here is lonely since they've gone before

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have)

The old weeping willow that stands by the door 

Sadly says (they have gone home) gone home. (they have.)

 

They've joined the heavenly fold

They're walking the streets of pure gold

They left one by one as their work here was done

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home. (they have.)

 

The trumpet will sound on that Great Judgment day

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have)

We'll see all our friends that have gone on that way

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home. (they have.)

 

They've joined the heavenly fold

They're walking the streets of pure gold

They left one by one as their work here was done

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home. (they have...)
