Blind Joe Death
The globe spins,
Dragging collisions of clutches, to the end.
Blind Joe Death staggers to the instrument
And caresses the soft wood of the neck.
He guides the dizzy fingers through
The mist of Melancholy melody.
Blind Joe Death grins at Fahey
And moves the cap up the strings.
He stops.
Blind Joe Death dies.
He falls onto the round Persian mat
And swings the needle off the turntable.
Fahey sleeps.

John Fahey - In Christ There Is No East or West
" This tune is from a hymn originally called ' The Angels Changed My Name ', first published in 1881 in a book commemorating a tour by The Jubilee Singers. They were a choir of former slaves and their children, based at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee. The modern lyrics date from 1908. "
