Subject: Lyr Add: Version: Won't You Come and Sing for Me
Here's another song I'm preparing for the Rise Again Songbook. This is what I hear on the Pioneering Women of Bluegrass, by Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. Any corrections?
WON'T YOU COME AND SING FOR ME? (Hazel Dickens, 1973)
I feel the shadows now upon me And fair angels beckon me Before I go, dear Christian brother Won't you come & sing for me? (in G) D - C G / C - G D / C - G - / D - C G
CHORUS Sing the hymns we sang together In that plain little church with the benches all worn How dear to my heart, how precious the moments We stood shaking hands & singing a song C - G - / D - C G ://
My burden's heavy, my way has grown weary I have traveled the road that was long And it would warm this old heart, my brother If you come & sing one song
In my home beyond that dark river Your dear faces no more I'll see Until we meet where there's no more sad parting Won't you come & sing for me?
