Subject: RE: Lyr Add: When My Blood Runs Chiller and Cold From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 09 Nov 01 - 09:06 PM Mario, that is my read also. There are two songs here, one related to Beulah Land of faint memory. Don't remember who made it popular for a while. |

Subject: Lyr Add: LORD, REMEMBER ME From: Giac Date: 18 Nov 01 - 07:06 PM Here's a version I've had for so long, without attribution, that I no longer remember from where it came: LORD, REMEMBER ME ! O do Lord, remember me ! O do, Lord, remember me ! O, do remember me, until de year roll round ! Do, Lord, remember me ! If you want to die like Jesus died, Lay in de grave, You would fold your arms and close your eyes And die wid a free good will. For Death is a simple ting, And he go from door to door And he knock down some, and he cripple up some, And he leave some here to pray. O do, Lord, remember me! O do, Lord, remember me! My old fader 's gone till de year roll round; Do, Lord, remember me! The version I learned in summer camp in the late 40s, had the chorus as Do Lord, Oh, Do Lord, Oh, do remember me (3x) Look away, beyond the blue. Mary |

Subject: Lyr Add: JESUS, THOU ART THE SINNER'S FRIEND From: masato sakurai Date: 20 Nov 01 - 03:39 AM "Do, Lord, Remember Me" is also in Grissom, The Negro Sings a New Heaven (1930; Dover, 1969, p. 68; with music)[quoted in Jackson, White and Negro Spirituals, p. 165], and Odum and Johnson, The Negro and His Songs (1925; Negro Universities Press, 1968, p. 92). The version sung by Jimmie Strothers and Joe Lee is in Various Artists, Negro Religious Songs and Services (Rounder CD 1514).
George Pullen Jackson says, "A negro spiritual inspired by this song [Jesus, Thou Art the Sinner's Friend in the Sacred Harp (1844), the Southern Harmony (1835), etc.] is 'Lord, Remember Me'." (Spiritual Folk-Songs of Early America, 1937; Dover, 1964, p. 144). The first stanza with refrain (2x) is:
Jesus, thou art the sinner's friend,
O Lord remember me, ~Masato

Subject: Lyr Add: LIGHTS IN THE VALLEY From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 05 Dec 01 - 07:49 PM LIGHTS IN THE VALLEY I'm waitin' for my Jesus, He's comin' after me, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Cho. Lights in the valley, outshine the sun, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Be ready, mother, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Cho. Be ready, father, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Cho. Be ready, sinner, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look way behind the blue. J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers, recorded August 1935 for RCA. Similar lines (outshine the sun and Way behind-beyond the Blue-moon-sun-sky) appear in several gospel tunes as well as in the spiritual. The version here is by a white group, but black groups have done similar versions to the same tune. @religion @gospel
