Thread Name: Lyr Req: Beulah Land (from Gillian Welch/John Hurt
Subject: RE: Need lyrics Beulah Land - Gillian Welch
The album is "Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt," Vanguard CD 79582, 2001.

I listened to a sound sample, and the words I heard Gillian Welch singing are:I also listened to a couple of sound samples of Mississippi John Hurt singing BEULAH LAND, and the lyrics seem to match. His song is a version of one that is commonly called GLORY LAND or DO LORD. Lyrics of his song and several related versions are posted in the thread Lyr Req: Do Lord, Oh Do Lord, and in related threads that are linked at the top of the page.
