Everybody's wonderin' what and where they they all came from Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go When the whole thing's done But no one knows for certain And so it's all the same to me I think I'll just let the mystery be Some say once you're gone you're gone forever And some say you're gonna come back Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour If in sinful ways you lack Some say that they're comin' back in a garden Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas I think I'll just let the mystery be Everybody's wonderin' what and where they they all came from Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go When the whole thing's done But no one knows for certain And so it's all the same to me I think I'll just let the mystery be Some say they're goin' to a place called Glory And I ain't saying it ain't a fact But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory And I don't like the sound of that I believe in love and I live my life accordingly But I choose to let the mystery be Everybody is wondering what and where they they all came from Everybody is worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go When the whole thing's done But no one knows for certain And so it's all the same to me I think I'll just let the mystery be I think I'll just let the mystery be

One of the most haunting lyrics I have ever heard, but I love the way Iris does it justice! I loved it the first time I heard it on the Leftovers on HBO, been a Fan ever since. It's a reality we all have face and Iris explains it so beautifully! A lyrical & preforming Genius She is a National Treasure. Studio quality reproduction from what seems to be a single or dual track recording system from a living room. Real American Folk!

Five years ago I commented on this song. I guess no body read it. That's sad for us all. I still have hope regardless. Never the less here we are even worse off. God help us. Five years from now I pray for better times. Until then...stay strong and do the right thing.

Gosh-almighty, I just love her. She makes me smile and chuckle in my heart, and everything I hear about her from folks who know Ms. DeMent just makes her seem all the more like a happy light shining through those curtains us folks all have, like a sunbeam peeking trough illuminating all those sleepy li'l motes just lazily floating and dancing in the warm gold crepuscular rays with nary a care at all . NowI'm happily hypnotized and am content to sit back and just let it all be.

Everything about it -- the bluegrass / gospel vibe, the sweet harmonies of guitars, mandolin and fiddle, and the sentiment that why worry about something you can never know until the time comes -- is wonderful. Sweet, funny, gentle and full of whimsy. Love it!
