We’ll Meet Again Sweetheart

The song’s authorship is generally credited to Lester Flatt, in keeping with much of the writer-credited material from the early F&S period. The lyric is a vow-of-reunion piece: the narrator parting from his sweetheart, both of them carrying the conviction that this is a temporary separation rather than a permanent end — and the song’s chorus repeats the title phrase as the central reassurance.

Flatt’s flat-baritone lead vocal carries the lyric’s quiet hopefulness; Scruggs’s three-finger banjo break and Curly Seckler’s tenor harmony give the recording its definitive Foggy Mountain Boys texture. The harmonic shape is straightforwardly traditional in G or A, the tempo sits in the moderate range, and the song works as a vocal feature with a clear chorus harmony slot. It remains a comfortable jam call in any traditional bluegrass set.
