Add: THERE'S A MEETIN' HERE TONIGHT Limelighters Some come to dance Some come to play Some merely come to pass the time away Some come to laugh Their voices do ring But as for me, I come for to sing.

Subject: ADD: There's a Meeting Here Tonight From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 13 Mar 07 - 12:37 PM THERE'S A MEETING HERE TO-NIGHT (Fisk Jubilee Singers Version) Refrain: Get you ready, there's a meeting here to-night, Come along, there's a meeting here to-night; I know you by your daily walk, There's a meeting here tonight. 1. Camp-meeting down in the wilderness, There's a meeting here to-night; I know it's among the Methodists, There's a meeting here to-night. 2. Those angels wings are tipped with gold, There's a meeting here tonight; That brought glad tidings to my soul, There's a meeting here tonight. 3. My father says it is the best, etc. To live and die a Methodist, etc. 4. I'm a Methodist bred and a Methodist born, etc. And when I'm dead there's a Methodist gone, etc. Similar to the second version posted by Masato. With music, No. 65, p. 84, Marsh, J. B.

Subject: RE: There is a Meetin Here Tonight From: Art Thieme Date: 17 Jul 02 - 01:49 PM Gibson opened most shows with his version of "Meetin' Here Tonight" back in the late 1950s --at the Gate Of Horn (Chicago). Masato---That song you quoted from is by Oscar Brown jr. and the word you've got as "soothin'" should be "serving". Art |
