Christmas (1993) |
Go tell it on the mountainWhile shepherds kept their watching
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountainShepherds feared and trembled
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountainDown in a lowly manger
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Album notes: "I have vivid memories of this old spiritual being sung with secular words and with unbearable earnestness by middle class kids in the '60s, at marches, love-ins and weenie roasts. Fortunately, I more recently came across the version recorded by the gospel group The Swan Silvertones. As the power and beauty of the song poured through the speakers of my truck radio, I knew I had to make it part of the album."
