Big Tent Revival- The Ballad of Arlis RIchards Cover

This is my take on the Ballad of Arlis Richards. Its probabally one of my favorite Big Tent songs of all time. I'm pretty partial to the first album anyway ;-) I'd like to cover Two sets of Jones. I wore the shades cuz to me its a blues feel song and something about shades says blues to me ... uh.....Ya :).Lyrics- Arlis Richards was a manWho lived among the blacksHe was a crosstown walkerWith guitar on his backBarely educated Couldn't write his nameBut when he played his guitarEverybody sang:I have been set freeFrom pain and miseryNo longer follow meI know Jesus!Just outside of MemphisBack in 52Arlis was a ramblinThe way that he would doPlaying on his guitarSitting in the shadePeople came to listenTo the music that he madeI have been set freeOf pain and miseryNo longer follow meI know Jesus!Some folks walked on byWhen they saw the color of his skinOthers standin HighWhen they saw the man within.And when his song was overArlis went his wayBut some folks say revivalStarted that day
