Sorry I can't help you but would you please help me checking the words I took on Ari's CD. He ‘rose he ‘rose he ‘rose from the dead And the Lord shall bear my spirit home Go tell my disciples meet me in Galilee They crucified my saviour laid him in the tomb Mary she came running (for) to see her blessed boy When I’m on my journey I’ll rest in Jesus arms Are they ok... I'm not English nor American Is there any additional lyrics on Jefferson issue ? Thanks for your help Yves --Previous Message-- : Hi folks: : Forgive me if you've seen this question : elsewhere. I'm trying to find the origin : of "He Rose from the Dead", : recorded by Blind Lemon Jefferson c. 1927 : (and covered by Ari ten years ago). I'm : sure now that Jefferson was not the : author; Rob Hutten has located a 1929 : hymnal from Georgia that includes the : song, but with no credits. : The Fisk Jubilee Singers recorded it on a : 1955 Folkways album. My questions: : 1) Did they record it on a 78? So far I : haven't found one. : 2) Who wrote it, and when? : Any help is much appreciated. : Peace, : Paul :
