Dark Was The Night - Cold Was The Ground by Blind Willie Johnson from the album Essential Delta Blues
Released 2009-12-18 on Not Now Music
Despite the freedom gained in the American Civil War, most African-Americans had seen little change in their living conditions by the beginning of the 20th Century. Ironically, it would take another conflict to change the outlook. The First World War created jobs for unskilled workers in the North and many took the opportunity to escape the cloying restrictions of the South. The sounds of the country were no longer relevant to their lifestyles and the music changed accordingly. Without the blues there would have been no rock 'n' roll, and them music here is the roots of that revolution.

Dark was the night, and cold the groundOn which the Lord was laid;His sweat like drops of blood ran down;In agony he prayed."Father, remove this bitter cup,If such Thy sacred will;If not, content to drink it upThy pleasure I fulfill."Go to the garden, sinner, seeThose precious drops that flow;The heavy load He bore for thee;For thee he lies so low.Then learn of Him the cross to bear;Thy Father's will obey;And when temptations press thee near,Awake to watch and pray.10 years ago
