This is another song title which has two different melodies attached to it. The one I have arranged is the less well known of the two -- and the main source is the Lomax book on American music. This piece is dedicated to Dr. Nancy Menk, the wonderful director of the St. Mary’s College Women’s Choir in Indiana and also director of the South Bend (IN) Chamber Singers.

Complete perusal score available upon request.
 


TEXT

Blin' man stood on de road an' cried,
Blin' man stood on de road an' cried.
cry-in' "O, Lawd, show me de way",
Blin' man stood on de road an' cried.
Cryin' "Help me, O Lawd, if you please,
Cryin' "Help me, O Lawd, if you please,"
Cryin' "O, Lawd, show me de way",
Blin' man stood on de road an' cried.
When I was a sinner, I stood on de road an' cried,
When I was a sinner, I stood on de road an' cried,
Cry-in' O, Lawd,  show me  de way,
Blin' man stood on de road an' cried.
