Subject: Lyr Add: Bless My Soul / I Can Feel the Sweet Win From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Aug 16 - 03:16 AM This song feels like a traditional song, but it isn't. The version in the Digital Tradition comes from Guy Carawan, but it was written by Bill Staines. GOIN' BACK TO CAROLINA (Sweet Winds Blowing)[from DT] (Bill Staines adapted Guy Carawan) I can hear the soft winds blowin' through the valleys and the hills I can hear the soft winds blowin'as I go, as I go, I can hear the soft winds blowin' through the valleys and the hills I'm goin' back to Carolina, bless my soul, bless my soul. I can see the morning breakin' through the valleys and the hills, I can see the morning breakin' as I go, as I go I can see the morning breakin'through the valleys and the hills I'm goin' back to Carolina, bless my soul, bless my soul. I can feel a touch of heaven etc. I can feel the people stirrin', etc. Copyright Mineral River Music @home filename[ GOCARLNA TUNE FILE: GOCARLNA CLICK TO PLAY RG ![]()
