Thread Name: Lyr Req: Looking for song words No more my lawd
Subject: ADD Version: No More, My Lord
Thanks for the question, Jan. I moved your other post into this thread because it's confusing to people if you split a discussion over two threads.

I suppose the easiest answer would be the song Roger in Baltimore posted in the "No More, My Lord" thread (click). I thought it also could be Peace in the Valley or No More Auction Block for Me.

No More, My Lord

None of these matches your specifications exactly, but I thought it worthwhile to suggest them.

Pentangle did a haunting recording of their version of this song:
My transcription of the recording:

NO MORE, MY LORD
(As recorded by Pentangle)

No more, no more
No more, no more
And I'll never turn back no more

Jesus, He's the one
He's the one I'm looking for
And I'll never turn back no more

Tell me where, Tell me where
Tell me where he can be found
And I'll never turn back no more

Down on my knees, down on my knees
Try and love if you please
And I'll never turn back no more

Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh
No more, no more
No more, no more
And I'll never turn back no more



"No More, My Lord" also appears in our Digital Tradition Folk Song Database.
