17 Mar 01 - 08:52 PM (#420181) Subject: Lyr Add: DO LORD From: Joe Offer Hi, Goldfinger - a Google Search (click) turns up a number of versions. Mostly, it's the verses you have (the only ones I knew), plus: I'll take Jesus for my savior, you take him too (3x) I'll wear the robe, and you wear the crown (3x) Hope that does the trick for you. -Joe Offer- Here's the way I learned the song in Wisconsin in the late 1950s: DO LORD Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me, O Lordy Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me Look away beyond the blue. I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun (3x) Look away beyond the blue. I took Jesus as my savior, you take him too (3x) Look away beyond the blue. |

For fun, I tried that URL. It just took me to a blank page, which is what I expected having had this problem many times. But if you edit the URL and change "threadID" to threadid, it works and you get to the thread. Bill & I have whined to Max about this problem but .... Rita |

20 Mar 01 - 06:54 PM (#421982) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Do Lord, Oh Do Lord From: raredance actually it wasn't from a list of traced threads, I did a forum search for it and then copy/pasted it into here. I confess to being unaware that that doesn't work and from what you say it wouldn't have helped to use a blue clicky becasue I would have copy/pasted the exact same information. How curiously queer. rich r |

20 Mar 01 - 06:59 PM (#421987) Subject: Lyr Add: LIGHTS IN THE VALLEY and DEADHEADS AND... From: raredance Of course the other solution is wanton duplication, Here is the info I tried to cite from the other thread. "A Folksinger's Guide to Grass Roots Harmony" by Ethel Raim and Josh Dunson (Oak Publications 1968) contains the following information about the tune/song: "Here's a tune that has appeared as a dozen different songs in the string band repertoire. J E Mainer's Mountaineers, one of the great old time commercially recorded bands, sings a religious version of the tune with harmonies that make full use of its depth, Lights in the Valley...Crockett Ward and his Boys use pretty much the same tune for their memorable Deadheads and Suckers." I will put both sets of lyrics below. "Lights in the Valley" has elements in common with the lyrics of the camp song "Do Lord." LIGHTS IN THE VALLEY
I'm waitin' for my Jesus; He's comin' after me.
CHORUS:
Get ready mother, He's comin' after you. (3X) CH
Get ready father, He's comin' after you. (3X) CH
Get ready sinner, He's comin' after you (3X) CH DEADHEADS AND SUCKERS
Deadheads and suckers, how can you live?
I'm goin' around the mountain, bound to leave you now.
Light in the graveyard, it outshines the sun.
High sheriff and police am runnin' after me.
Mighty happy meeting, don't you want to go? Another song that uses the tune is "Lost all my money but a two-dollar bill" which has been recorded by Doc Watson. rich r |

Do, Lord, oh do Lord, oh do you remember me [3 times] There were a lot of other verses which have faded now -- something like, "I've got a home in Jordan, way beyond the sea." Sorry, the gray matter, what there is left, isn't responding.
