reverend gary davis - lord, i wish i could see lyrics
lord, i wish i could see – complete recorded works (1935 – 1949)
it was a time when i went blind, it was a time when i went blind
was the darkest day that i ever saw, was the time when i went blind
lord, i cried the whole night long, lord i cried the whole night long
cryin’ “oh, lord won’t ya tell me how long am i to be blind always?”
lord i wished i could see again, i wished i could see again
if i could see how happy i would be, i wished i could see again
lord there n0body knows like me, that the trouble i do see
i’m away in the dark got ta feel my way, lord there n0body cares for me
lord it’s hard i have to be blind, lord it’s hard i have to be blind
i’m away in the dark and i have to be led, lord it’s hard i have to be blind
ah there’s n0body knows like me, lord there n0body knows like me
since i lost my sight i lost my friends, now there’s n0body’s a friend to me
my friends turned they back on me, my friend turned their back on me
‘cos away in the dark and i cannot see, yeh they turned their back on me
lord there n0body cares for me, nah there n0body cares for me
‘cos away in the dark and i cannot see, now there n0body cares for me
lord my way is seem so hard, lord i’m blind i cannot see
said i’m away in the dark got ta feel my way, lord my way it seem so hard
it was the time when i went blind, it was the time when i went blind
was a dreadful day that i ever see, was the time when i went blind
lord there n0body knows like me, at the trouble i do see
(spoken)
y’all oughta realize that ya got the good sight, you ought ta know that it’s a good thing to have
you can see! it’s the truth, you can see, i mean you can see, you can see everything coming to you!
it was the time when i went blind
lord i wish i could see – from blues to gospel
it was a time when i went blind, it was a time when i went blind
it was the darkest day that i ever saw, was the time when i went blind
lord i wished i could see again, lord i wished i could see again
if i could see how happy i would be, i wished i could see again
lord there n0body knows like me, that the trouble i do see
since i lost my sight and i could not see, n0body cares for me
now there’s n0body cares for me, now there n0body cares for me
cos i lost my sight and i cannot see, n0body cares for me
it was the time when i went blind, it was the time when i went blind
it was the darkest day that i ever saw it was the time…
it’s so hard i have to be blind, it’s so hard i have to be blind
an’ when i had my sight i had a lotta friends, they turned their back on me
now they turned their back on me, ah they turned their back on me
since i lost my sight i lost my friends, n0body’s a friend to me
lord i wished i could see again, lord i wished i could see again
well im out in the dark and i have to feel my way, lord i wished i could see again
