Mescal | Origins: Dark Was the Night (Blind Willie Johnson) (6) | Dark Was the Night | 23 Apr 09 |
Does anyone have lyrics for "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" -- which of course Willie Johnson recorded as a moan in the late 1920s? I understand it was a Wesleyan hymn from the late 1700s. Are those lyrics still around, in hymn books maybe? Also I've seen this title on an old recording, which I never heard, maybe a southern gospel or black gospel record. |
