From Sinner's Crossroads:

November 17, 2001


This archived show has no playlist posted at WFMU, but there are a lot of good items on it, listed below. Given are approximate times they appear in the hourlong program, and approximate lyrics for the ones I think are most do-able.

=====================================================================

06:45 - Can't Do Without the Lord (I Don't Know What I'd Do Without the Lord) - Rock Island Singers - Nashboro 7" single. It's a lead over a quartet, with some improiv by the lead, but basically this is the lyric:

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT THE LORD
As learned from the singing of The Rock Island Singers as heard on WFMU-FM's "Sinner's Crossroads" with Kevin Nutt.

I don't know what I'd do without the Lord,
I don't know what I'd do without the Lord,
When I look around and see *what the Lord has done for me,
Then I don't know what I'd do without the Lord.

How could I pray without the Lord?
How could I pray without the Lord?
When I look around and see what the Lord has done for me,
Then I don't know what I'd do without the Lord.

How could I shout without the Lord?
How could I shout without the Lord?
When I look around and see what the Lord has done for me,
Then I don't know what I'd do without the Lord.

How could I be saved without the Lord?
How could I be saved without the Lord?
When I look around and see what the Lord has done for me,
Then I don't know what I'd do without the Lord.

* var. how good the Lord has been to me

==========================

12:20 At Calvary - Sensational Nightingales (be sure to hear the intro commentary) 1972. Some words unclear and approximated below.

AT CALVARY
As learned from The Sensational Nightingales (1972 recording)

O, the years I spent in vanity and pride
Caring not that the Lord was crucified;
Knowing not it was for me He died
On...... on..... Calvary... (Calvary)
Calvary....!

By God's grace at last, my sins I learned.
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned.
Give my guilty soul in flowing turn to
You...... You.... Calvary.... (Calvary)
Calvary....!

Now I've given to Jesus to everything;
Now I gladly own Him as my King.
Now my restless soul can only sing
Of... of.... Calvary.... (Calvary)
Calvary....!

Mercy there was great and grace was free,
Pardon that was multiplied for me.
Now my burdened soul found liberty
At.... at.... Calvary.... (Calvary)
Calvary....!

COME ON, DON'T YOU WANT TO GO?

Come on, come on, don't you want to go?
Come on, come on, don't you want to go?
Come on, come on, don't you want to go?
My soul is heaven bound.

I'm going up to heaven to see my Lord, don't you want to go?
I'm going up to heaven to see my Lord, don't you want to go?
I'm going up to heaven to see my Lord, don't you want to go?
My soul is heaven bound.

I'll be walking and talking with the heavenly King, don't you want to go?
My soul is heaven bound.

You can drink from the fountain that never runs dry, don't you want to go?
You can drink from the fountain that never runs dry, don't you want to go?
You can drink from the fountain that never runs dry, don't you want to go?
My soul is heaven bound.

The train is standing at the station, don't you want to go?
The train is standing at the station, don't you want to go?
The train is standing at the station, don't you want to go?
My soul is heaven bound.

Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
My soul is—
My soul is—
My soul is heaven bound.
