Subject: ADD: I'll Be Singing All The Time In My Mind
Another great section of American Memory is the Fort Festival, or Now What a Time. I'm adding one from there-- seems to me it belongs with the one above. Perhaps someone who goes to hear it there could add in the performer and other info-- I'm pressed for time today. Better index it in the Permathread too. (Q? You there?)

I'LL BE SINGING ALL THE TIME IN MY MIND

REFRAIN:
I'll be singing all the time, in my mind;
I'll be singing all the time, in my mind.
Well if the Lord should call me and knock on my door,
I'll be singing all the time.

How well I do remember how Jesus brought me through.
I'll be singing all the time, in my mind.
I prayed and I walked the floor, a night or two;
I'll be singing all the time.

When sorrow overtake me, when trouble starts to brew,
I'll be singing all the time, in my mind.
My friends will talk about me, sometimes my kinfolk too,
Oh, I'll be singing all the time.

When I press my dying pillow and my life is almost through,
Well I'll be singing all the time, in my mind.
And my sight begins to fail me, my fingernails turn blue,
I'll be singing all the time.
