The song was recorded on April 20, 1930 in Atlanta, Georgia by Blind Willie Johnson and is included in the Anthology of American Folk Music.[1][2][3] In this version Johnson's first wife Willie B. Harris performs the response parts of the song.[4] The Golden Gate Quartet performed and recorded the song a cappella in the 1930s.[5] Son House also recorded several a cappella versions in the 1960s.

I would like to find Blind Willie's version.

The only one I had or a long time was on Johnson's complete recordings.

@TheGreatTactician I'm afraid you are: this was first recorded by Blind Willie Johnson. However, this recording sounds more like Son House's version than BWJ's original; so I guess we can't completely rule out the possibility that Robert Johnson might have performed it, even though he seems to have taken more inspiration from the netherworld than from spiritual revelations, in contrast to the 'holy blues' men. Worlds apart spiritually, but with a musical kinship.........

Love n Peace
