Elvis Perkins - Weeping Pilgrim

[gadfly1955]

Actually it was found in an 18th century protestant hymnal and redone by Natalie Merchant in about 2003. BTW... Her version is infinitely better!!!

Was this originally a Sacred Harp song?

[shaenyface]

@delusionaldiminutive It is featured in the Sacred Harp songbooks, although whether it originated there or not, I don't know.

There is only one thing better than this tune - and thats the chap that told me about it. Said man, like this song, is all good.

The type of music that makes me have to lay down so I use nothing of my body more than my ears and my heart while it's playing.

I missed him on 10/30 in Cologne, I could bite my ass (German expression)! He and his band seem to be brilliant live.
