Bright Morning Stars

Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Played by the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band in 1987.

Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is a-breaking in my soul

Oh where are our dear fathers?
Oh where are our dear fathers?
They're down in the valley a-praying
Day is a-breaking in my soul

Oh, where are our dear mothers?
Oh, where are our dear mothers?
They've gone to heaven a-shouting
Day is a-breaking in my soul

Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is a-breaking in my soul
