Traditional Arranged by Dan Zanes; Sister Barbara Music ASCAP
The Blind Boys of Alabama: vocals Colin plays drums. Barbara plays guitar. Rob shakes the tambourine. Cynthia plays accordion. DZ sings and plays mandolin.
We recorded this song with the five Blind Boys at my house in Brooklyn. I kept my daughter out of school for the day, we all ate fried chicken and rehearsed the tune at the dining room table.

lyrics:
I'm going to sit at the welcome table
I'm going to sit at the welcome table
One of these days, hallelujah
I'm going to sit at the welcome table
Sit at the welcome table one of these days, one of these days
I'm going to feast on milk and honey...
I'm going to tell God how you treat me...
All God's children gonna sit together...
I'm going to sit at the welcome table...
