Waiting For You (I Forgive You Before I Go) (L.O.C. recordings)

Mississippi John Hurt

[Spoken]
Little love song, C, right with her. I wanna do this one on account of--I know my wife waitin' for me. This is "Waiting For You."

Will you be faithful to me?
Is your heart good and true?
While's in sorrow, and in pain
Darlin' I'm waiting for you
Because of your cruel ways I may never live to know
And justice too, my true love, I'll give you before I go

My heart beat' with quickn'
My care would all fly away
If you would kindly let me know
That you welcome me today
Because of your cruel ways I may never will live to know
And justice too, my true love, I'll give you before I go

Wait at leisure my darling
Let your thoughts drift to me
While's I am parted from you
Happiness I never will see
Because of your cruel ways I may never will live to know
And justice too, my true love, I'll give you before I go

The days are all dreary
The nights are so long
While's the heartache for you
I'm singing this song
Because of your cruel ways I may never will live to know
And justice too, my true love, I'll give you before I go

If we cannot meet again
Till our trouble all through
Beyond the river of Jordan
I'll still be waiting for you
Because of your cruel ways I may never will live to know
And justice too, my true love, I'll give you before I go

When you see my grassy mount
Then our trouble all' through
My days have been shortened
While's I've been waiting for you
Because of your cruel ways I may never live to know
And justice too, my true love, I can give you before I go

If I had a pastor' glory
And it did not read for two
I would it trade it all, dear darling
And still earth with you
Because of your cruel ways I may never live to know
And justice too, my true love, I can give you before I go
