I grew up singing songs about where we go to in the afterlife. There’s a song close to my heart that I have known all my life called The Promised Land that my grandfather wrote in the 1970’s and it tells the story of where we go after we pass. I wanted to write something similar about my Mum going to that eternal place of rest.

The other person I had in mind for this song was Uncle Archie Roach and I was thinking of the connection I have with all the musicians connected to him. It was the reason I got Paul Kelly involved in the song because of his deep friendship with Uncle Archie. It made sense for him be a part of it and have that sing with Unc too and join us playing the harmonica.

Oh can I play you a song tonight
I wanna sing you over to the sweet by and by
We’ll go through one more tune, together you and I
Can I play you a song tonight

I’ll always love you
You know we’ll be fine
Please stop fighting now it’s time to go rest high
You’ve left me with more than I could ever know
And I’m so proud in this life that I called you mine

So can I play you my song tonight
I wanna sing you over to the sweet by and by
We’ll go through one more tune, together you and I
Can I play you a song tonight

They say he ain’t heavy, he my brother
Let me sing all your worries away
You see the old ones they’re dancing and waiting patiently
Let me sing you over so you can go

Can I play you my song tonight
I wanna sing you over to the sweet by and by
We’ll go through one more tune, together you and I
Can I play you a song tonight
Let me play you a song tonight
