The words, as I hear them, are below. I'd love a second set of ears checking these, especially the second verse. Let me know what you hear... When I was a sinner the people would say If you wanna be converted you'd better pray So trust in them's found the lord For he has promised a sure reward Jesus says go I'll go with you Preach the gospel and I'll preach with you Lord if I go tell me what to say For they won't believe on me When I started out on my way to pray I'll tell you what the spirit did say Come unto me for I am the way And I intend in time to pray The more I prayed the worse I felt At last I thought my heart would melt Jesus says go… Well my hands was tied, my feet was bound The elements opened and the Lord come down The voice I heard sound so sweet The love run out at the soul of my feet Jesus says go… Well its doubts may ride and troubles may roll But god said he'd save your sin-sick soul Jesus says go… |

Cas was a neighbour of Dillard Chandler and knew him well. However, Cas did not sing Dillard's second verse, though he did sing some verses that Dillard omitted! You can hear Cas on the Musical Traditions double CD "Far in the Mountains" volumes 3 & 4 (available in the States from Camsco, I think). Cas called it "The Preacher's Song". |

Click onto "Records" then onto "MT Records". Then scroll down until you see the album & click onto booklet notes. |
