Subject: Lyr Req: My Lord, How Long? (spiritual)
Garrison Keillor sometimes sings this song:
MY LORD, HOW LONG?
My Lord, how long? My Lord, how long? My Lord, how long? This poor sinner's suffering.
It won't be long, It won't be long, It won't be long, This poor sinner's suffering.
Is it traditional, or is it Keillor's creation? I'm sure there must be other verses; and it's a "zipper" song, so it's not hard to make up new verses - but does anybody know anything about this song or its sources, and and does anybody know other verses?
