Notes

Played by the Black Mountain Boys on the 6th March 1964.

Circlulates on Black Mountain Boy tapes as The Hand Of The Lord.

The lyrics used by the Black Mountain Boys are as follows;

While I was singing, somebody touched me
While I was singing, somebody touched me
While I was singing, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
While I was kneeling, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

While I was praying, somebody touched me
While I was praying, somebody touched me
While I was praying, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.

Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Glory, glory, glory, somebody touched me
Must've been the hand of the Lord.
