Russel Robinson. "Hold Me Parson." Sung by Lizzie Miles (and others), 1930s. On Document's vol. 3 of Lizzie Miles. This one may be derived from the first. I would greatly appreciate the lyrics. |

They say the first line is Miss Alabama Joplin was a yaller gal . The Imprint is Los Angeles, CA : Southern California Music Co., 1910 . Apparently they have it in their collection in Tennessee. I haven't found an online copy of it yet. |

You better take me down to the river an' wash my sins away. I can hear that choir singin'. I love it more each day. Now I know I'm talkin' queer. Hold me, parson dear. I feel my 'ligion comin' on. Ah, hold me, hold me, parson, hold me, 'Cause I feels my 'ligion comin' on.... From Lizzie Miles: "Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 3 (1928-39)," Document CD 5460, 1996. |
