Subject: Lyr Add: HONEY IN THE ROCK^^ From: jeffs Date: 11 Oct 98 - 07:30 PM Does anybody have anything more? I was a a bit surprised that it isn't (wasn't) in digital tradition. I couldn't find it on the web either. jeffs chorus Honey in the rock for all Gods children Honey in the rock, honey in the rock Honey in the rock for all Gods children Feed every child of God If religion were a thing that money could buy Feed every child of God The rich would live and the poor would die Feed every child of God Some say Peter and some say Paul, But I say one lord made us all I'll climb and I'll climb that mountain top I'll climb and I'll climb and I'll never stop The tallest tree in Paradise Some just call it the tree of life Click for related thread |

Subject: Lyr Add: HONEY IN THE ROCK^^ From: skw@ Date: 13 Oct 98 - 03:57 AM Jeffs, thanks for giving me the push to take down the words to this. It's on a Guy and Candie Carawan LP, 'The Land Knows You're There' (1986; see a parallel thread for the title song). In the sleeve notes, Guy says: ' I heard the beautiful chorus to [this] from my neighbour Alice Wine when I lived on Johns Island, South Carolina. I added the verses, words and music, to make it a song I could sing.' - Susanne Chorus
If religion was a thing that your money could buy Some say Peter and some say Paul
The tallest tree in Paradise

Subject: RE: honey in the rock : more lyrics? From: masato sakurai Date: 12 Dec 01 - 09:47 AM A different version of "Honey in the Rock" was sung by A.C. Forehand & Blind Mamie Forehand and was recorded in 1927 (on Storefront & Streetcorner Gospel 1927-1929, Document DOCD-5054). Still another version was by Five Blind Boys of Alabama, in c.1950/51 (reissued on Five Blind Boys of Alabama 1948-1951, FLY CD 946). The first three lines are the same as those in Sweet Honey in the Rock's version of "Sweet Honey in the Rock" below, which is a "new version by Bernice Reagon" (on Sweet Honey in the Rock, Flying Fish FF 70022):
SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK
Sweet honey in the rock
Incidentally, Rev. D.C. Rice sang a song seemingly not related but containing the line "there is honey in the rock for you etc." repeatedly in his sermon record titled "A Sure Foundation" (1928) (on Rev. D.C. Rice 1928-1930, Document DOCD-5071). |
