Oooohhh oooooh ohhhh

Uuuhh ohhh

It's alright now

Oooooh ooooh ooohhh

Listen here



[Verse 1]

Good man, good woman

Hooked up and they had a couple of children

Four kids, look what the lord did

Smilin' on my parents with a blessing



And even though their days wouldn't be long

Momma looked around and daddy's gone

But we weren't alone

Until the lord called her home



She's in a place with my little sister

From time to time man I really miss her

And as for my dad, from what I understand

He was a strong man

And I know they're back together



[Chorus]

Poppa went first, and momma went last

But I ain't mad, cuz I know that

They're back together again, up in heaven

When the sun shines down

There's a smile on my face

There ain't no doubt when I think about

Where they went

And they're back together, together again



[Verse 2]

I wish I could tell em

All of the things I never got to tell him

But I'm sure he knows

(??) told him so

And even when I start stressin'

I think of what a good time they're havin'



And the bottom line is

Man I know this



She's gone upstairs with my little sister

And I can clearly see the picture

Julie and my dad

How can I be mad

When the lord has brought them together



[Chorus]

See poppa went first, and momma went last

And I ain't mad, cuz I know that

They're back together again, up in heaven

As the sun shines down

There's a smile on my face

There's no doubt, there's no doubt when I think about

Where they went

Cuz they're back together again



[Bridge]

Even though that my parents just wasn't in the plans

See, when I was a young man I didn't understand

Now I'm all grown up, and I'm missing your touch

The portrait in the frame, it's just not enough

All the dreams I've been chasin' after everyday

The memories just won't seem to fade away

There's only one thing, I'll tell you something

I know that they're dancing up in heaven through the lord's grace



[Chorus]

Cause poppa went first, and momma went last

And I said I ain't mad cuz I know where they went

Up in heaven, upon high

When the sun shines down, and the rain starts to pour

I know…sister I know

You're dancing in the sky

Said I wrote this song about it, and I'm real real proud about it

I know you're dancing in the sky

Yeah…
