Subject: RE: Lyr Add: THE BLIND MAN From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Sep 01 - 02:18 PM The Park version differs from the one published by Lomax, who says it is from south and east Texas. BLIN' MAN STOOD ON DE WAY AN' CRIED Blin' man stood on de way an' cried, Blin' man stood on de way an' cried, Cryin', "O Lawd, show me de way." Blin' man stood on de way an' cried. Cryin', "Help me O Lawd, if you please," Cryin', "Help me O Lawd, if you please," Cryin', "O Lawd, show me the way." Blin' man stood on the way an' cried. When I was a sinner I stood on de way an' cried, When I was a sinner I stood on de way an' cried, Cryin', "O Lawd, show me de way." Blin' man stood on the way an' cried. The last verse of the Park version may have been borrowed from the gospel song, "Wash Me Whiter than the Snow." |
