Thread Name: Lyr Req: Out on the Rolling Sea (Joseph Spence)
Subject: Lyr Add: OUT ON THE ROLLING SEA (from J Spence)
Here are a couple verses from the beginning. I would like to hear a bit more from you and see a name before I put any more work into deciphering the inimitable Brother Joseph Spence layered in with the Pindar family. Thank you.

OUT ON THE ROLLING SEA
(as sung by Joseph Spence and the Pindar Family)

Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah laaaaaaaah.

[Stephen] was out on the rolling sea when Jesus came to him
He was on the sea when in a boat (Lord Lord)
He was on the sea when Jesus speak unto me
He was on the rolling sea when he lay down (singer one)When he come (singer 2)

He was out on the rolling sea
Jesus speak to me (whoa, Lord)
I was out on the rolling sea when he comes (Lord, Lord in the morning)
I was on the rolling sea, Jesus speaks unto me,
Tell the world I'm on the rolling sea when he comes

There's the first couple without most of the overlays. Now tell me what this is about.
Blessings,
Barbara
