12 Apr 00 - 06:02 AM (#210528) Subject: RE: Help: Jesus Was a Crossmaker From: Billy the Bus Hi Beanster, Although Jesus built his own cross, by trying to change the world, then had to carry it, I'm pretty sure the song title you are trying to find is "Jesus was a Carpenter". And all I can remember of the female singers of the 60s was someone like Joni Mitchell, or.. mind's blank. Can't find it in DT, but am going through an AltaVista search - some 500 hits for "Jesus was a Carpenter". So far only references to the song are: Johnny Cash (not female) There's a lot of references to Elvis, wheww... That's better "-elvis" takes it to 288 So, here goes again...;) Ahha.... You'll find a midi file (can't be bothered doin' the blue clicky thing at).... http://free.ntv.it/midi_music/midifile/spiritual/Spiritual_main.htm
But, it doesn't sound like the tune I recall..|>( You'll find the Johnny Cash version on record __________________________ 1970 Hello I'm Johnny Cash CS 9943 / CBS 63796 Southwind; The Devil to Pay; Cause I Love You; See Ruby Fall; Route 1 Box 144; Sing a Traveling Song; If I Were a Carpenter (with June Carter); To Beat the Devil; Blistered; Wrinkled Crinkled Wadded Dollar Bill; I've Got a Thing About Trains; Jesus Was a Carpenter. (produced by Bob Johnston) __________________________ Sorry Beanster - have to give up - my connection is shot - I've only got ΒΌ way through the AV pages, and keep getting 404s. BUT - I'm positive the song you're looking for is "Carpenter", not "Crossmaker".. Will try again tomorrow if you have had no luck. Cheers - Sam

(And for the lyrics, Ed). And even though it was a different song you were thinking of Billy the Bus, thanks for the time you obviously put in to help. Now I can sleep again at night! lol |

13 Apr 00 - 06:54 PM (#211390) Subject: RE: Help: Jesus Was a Crossmaker From: The Shambles There were some good souls preaching on the seafront at Sidmouth and they had a full size cross. After a hard days converting, one of them had to carry the cross home. This chap surprised me, as he came out of a side street and under my breath I heard myself say 'Jesus Christ'!!!
