The Foggy Mountain Boys, with their impeccable harmonies and heartfelt delivery, turn this song into a touching meditation on life and legacy. It’s a humble yet deeply resonant question: who will remember us and keep our stories alive when we’re no longer here? Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, along with their band, convey this sentiment with such authenticity that you can’t help but feel a lump in your throat.

Lyrics
Often I sing for my friends when death’s cold hand I see
But when I am called who will sing one song for me
I wonder who will sing for me
When I’m called to across that silent sea who will sing for me
So I’ll sing till the end and helpful try to be
Assured that some friends will sing one song for me
I wonder who will sing for me…
