Franz S. Origins: On My Journey / Don't You Weep over Me (23) RE: When I'm on My Journey (Don't You Weep After M 23 Jun 05


Pete Seeger recorded it on his Rainbow Quest album ( Folkways 1960), one of my first recoding purchases. I've lost the notes, but he does a mix of traditional lines and lines of his own, Viz:

When I'm dead and buried, don't you weep after me...
We're crossing Jordan's River...
Tell my dear old mother...
I'll be with you when you're singing...
When I do cross over...
I'll be with you when you're singing...

For some reason, in the last year or so whenever I pick up my banjo this is usually the first tune my fingers start playing. I fing it a great comfort.
