We're gonna do one now that, yeah, that looks just great.
This is one that comes from a guy
who's not a real well-known bluegrass writer.
He's a blues player.
His name is Blind Willie Johnson,
who's a pretty obscure guy.
Anyway, this is one of his songs,
and it's called, Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning.
