    THE BLACKEST CROW (2004)
    The Blackest Crow is a treasury of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, as well as original pieces. Enjoy their resplendent vocals and thoughtful presentation, played on guitar, mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, mandolin, fiddle, piano, harmonica, bones, bodhran, wooden spoons, and feet.

    In their ongoing quest as gatekeepers of traditional folk music and dance, Aubrey and Elwood treat their life's work as a rescue mission: finding old songs, writing new songs, and as always, giving voice to the quiet. The songs were collected during many years of performing throughout Appalachia, as well as other places in the United States where traditional folk music still melds with daily life.

about

One Day I Will
Attributed to Mills and Stallings from the singing of the late Estil C. Ball and his wife Orna of Grassy Creek, NC. The Ball's were recorded by Alan Lomax from the 1930's through the '50's in the Blue Ridge mountains.

lyrics

I never have seen the face of my savior
But serving him has been such a thrill
I never have seen the gates to the city
But one day, one day I will

Chorus:
One day I’m gonna walk on the streets of pure gold
And they tell me that half has never yet been told
I’ll be united with my loved ones on Zion’s holy hill
But one day, one day I will

Since the day I first met him
He has been all to me
And my life with his joy he has filled
And I’m longing for the day
When my eyes will behold him
But one day, one day I will…Chorus

Instrumental

I never have seen the face of my savior
But serving him has been such a thrill
I never have seen the gates to the city
But one day, one day I will...Chorus

Oh, one day, one day I will
