Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ...A blind and helpless child...
Jean, I posted a modern version of this song a while back. The song I posted is called “There'll Be No Blind Ones There” and, I believe, is from Pete Roberts (AKA Pete Kuykendall), banjo player and publisher of Bluegrass Unlimited. I have a couple of recordings of the tune. I think one may be by Red Allen and the Kentuckians and the other by J.D. Crowe. You might call Pete and ask him where he got the song.

Or maybe Masato will come along and give us the entire history.
