Lyr Req: Love Song (from Sanders of the River)

There´s a rich, beautiful song originated 1930 of which I do have a record (Paul Robeson). My problem is that I understand 95% of the lyrics and that´s not enough to sing it. (Some people say that neither my voice is enough, but I´m a die hard). Though it is a re-processed CD, the sound is poor. Only an authentic English-speaking person, especially a singer, will get the full meaning of the lyrics. Curiously, you Mudcatters are closer to me than any authentic English-singing person in Buenos Aires. Is there any volunteer to receive the CD, listen to it and write down the lyrics for me ? There has been an old thread on this, but nobody knew it.
Thanks for any help - Un abrazo - Andrés

Before you send the CD around, would you know the title of the song itself?

Darn, I thought I might have a copy of it, Andrés, but I don't. Any chance you can make an MP3 or RealAudio recording of the cut, an then e-mail it? I'd be glad to post it at my Website so everybody could take a listen and try to help. Click on my name below if you'd like to send me e-mail.

Ok Joe, I´ll try, but I´m afraid the compression to MP3 will make the fidelity still worse. If it works, it will be faster, indeed.
