My attempt at writing a old gospel/folk song that might have been on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. I love the imagery contained in Revelations, but I'm sorry I didn't get the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in...Mind you, always time for more verses.
Played on my Cadburys tin guitar tuned gDG.
Lyrics:
Bare record of the mighty word,
Its prophesy shall soon be heard. x2
Angelic voices did proclaim,
Final Judgement was its name. x2
The Revelation of Saint John,
Chapter, verse and song.
The seventh seal will be undone,
The empty silence is begun. x2
Wormwood star from heavens fell,
Water spoiled the people yell. x2
The Revelation of Saint John,
Chapter, verse and song.
Reward shell be the tree of life,
An end to pain and earthly strife. x2
The city's gates will open to,
The righteous man to walk on through. x2
The Revelation of Saint John,
Chapter, verse and song.
Bare record of the mighty word,
Its prophesy shall soon be heard

Awesome Vinyl. Love the grittyness combined with the imagery. It sounds real.
Thanks, RTZ - I try to balance my somber and jovial sides, but I can't be serious for long.
The serious side of Vinyl . In my best Brit. slang this is Ace my friend. Anders got it.
John, Anders & Willie - Cheers fellers, I've just been tying something different
Great song (and playing and singing)!
Best regards, Willie
Great song and really well performed. I love everything about this.
James, John, Matthew & Tony - Thanks for your kind words.

I think you may be Blind Willy Johnson's nephew.
And you have a fine look for the screamin' preacher role! Who's dat calling? Vinyl the Revelator.
