[Verse 1] Go on friends and meet at the family reunion If one of us blows somewhere with the wind Go on with your meeting your drinking and eating If me or some others seem gone far away
[Chorus] There never would be any family reunion if some of you cry over one you see gone You’ve got to keep meeting with all of your family If one or two pass and some others can’t come
[Verse 2] Don’t tell the others to stop all their weeping That’s the best way to wash out your soul in your eyes Just hug one another and sing with your drinking And hold your reunion same as you plan
[Chorus] There never would be any family reunion if some of you cry over one you see gone You’ve got to keep meeting with all of your family If one or two pass and some others can’t come
