Sun Didn't Shine Out On Be-yonder Mountain

Cho.
The sun didn't shine out on be-yonder mountain (3 times)
When my Lord was dyin' on the cross.

Oh, Pilot's wife, she had a dream
About an innocent man she'd never seen.
Bring me a bowl an' let me wash my hand,
I won't be guilty 'bout an innocent man.
Cho.
