about

Jimi’s Hymn
M. Litton / Roger Holden

I’m gonna swim that river, I’m gonna make it home
I’m gonna leave the devil standin’ all alone
I know I been a sinner all through my whole life
I’m gonna swim that river to the other side...
I see the angels dancin’ up on yonder hill
All dressed in gold n’ glory
Be there if you will
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!

Hey Joe, c’mon in now, sit down by the fire
That’s how the devil tempt you when you’re gittin’ tired
I heard the wind cry “Mary!” in the evil night
I heard the wind cry “Mary!” and stepped into the light
I see my baby waitin’ up on yonder hill
She looks just like an angel, she’s my baby still
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!

Gonna rock on to Heaven arm in arm
Gonna rock on to Heaven, oh yeah!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
All singin’ Hallelujah! All singin’ Hallelujah, O Lord!
Rock on to Heaven, rock on to Heaven
Rock on to Heaven, O Lord! Rock on!

I’m gonna swim that river, I’m gonna make it home
I’m gonna leave the devil standin’ all alone...

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band image

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

I'm a creekbank ghetto boy. Began my singin' near half a century ago in Canada, then hit northeast, down thru Nashville, Austin, out to Colorado and back to Kansas where I started out and will likely remain. My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
