LIGHTS IN THE VALLEY
I'm waitin' for my Jesus, He's comin' after me, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue.
Cho. Lights in the valley, outshine the sun, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue.
Be ready, mother, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Cho. Be ready, father, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look 'way behind the blue. Cho. Be ready, sinner, He's comin' after you, (3 times) Look way behind the blue.
J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers, recorded August 1935 for RCA. Similar lines (outshine the sun and Way behind-beyond the Blue-moon-sun-sky) appear in several gospel tunes as well as in the spiritual. The version here is by a white group, but black groups have done similar versions to the same tune. @religion @gospel
