  Subject: WON'T YOU COME AND SING FOR ME by Hazel Dickens

  

  

  Here's another sweet and poignant song by the best songwriter the state of

  West Virginia ever produced (IMNSHO). It has been recorded by Jody Stecher

  and

  Kate Brislin on their album "Our Town" (Rounder CD0304) and by Ginny Hawker

  and Tracy Schwarz on their album "Deep Hollows and High Ridges" (Marimac

  CD9063).

  

  WON'T YOU COME AND SING FOR ME by Hazel Dickens

  

      E   D A

  I feel the shadows now upon me

  D   A E

  And fair angels beckon to me.

   D A

  Before I go today, my brother,

  E    D     A

  Won't you come and sing for me?

  

  Chorus:

  D A

  Sing the hymn we sang together

   E D A

  In that plain little church where the benches are worn.

      D    A

  How dear to my heart, how precious the moment

   E     D    A

  We stood shaking our hands and singing our song.

  

  My burden is heavy, my way has grown weary.

  I have traveled a road that is long.

  And it would cheer my heart, my brother

  If you would come and sing one song.

  

  Chorus-----

  

  In my home beyond the dark river

  Your dear faces no more I will see.

  And when we meet, well there's no sad parting.

  Won't you come and sing for me.

  

  Chorus-----

  

  

  Jody plays some positively amazing flatpicked guitar breaks on his and

  Kate's

  recording that I won't even attempt to describe. I play it with a less

  ambitious Maybelle Carter-like approach. Learn this one and then teach it

  to

  all your friends: that chorus absolutely screams for a throng of

  harmonizers!
