Every time I hear this song it reminds of that lonely highway that comes a calling

Thanks to all who posted lyrics. I don't know how long I would have thought he was saying riding instead of writing otherwise.

Yes my friend,Spirit of GOD moves on the water
Jess Roat
Son House sings this too.
Tina Davies
The Johnny and June of gospel and delta blues?! :-)
Fantastic vocal duo!
Taysha Evans
Awesome, I can just imagine BWJ leaning into the mike and growling this out while his wife swivels her hips singing the melody, blues at its very best!
Саша Андрианова
I think this is the first and still my favorite recorded version of this song. BWJ is hypnotic, the call and response is brilliant, so simple, yet so powerful. This man was a vocal genius. .
Rasiaty Pena
This is just a great vocal combo. His growl and her velvet tone. Beautiful.
DANY NAX
wonder how he gets that tone in his voice, gravelly, rev gary davis can do it well

OMFG Who is the female singer.... love her voice.... Blind Willie is fantabulous with the growl but her voice is amazing in contrast to his!!!

Stunning. Beyond words. The song that really stuck it to me though was 'Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground' - the slide guitfiddle work on that is, its almost a burden having heard something that beautiful. If I don't fully open my heart, soul and mind to this world that didn't exist before having felt his playing I'd be cheating myself of the potential for real change and growth, and its a little disconcerting having to let go of what you considered certainties only 3:22 ago and admitting (once again) you know virtually nothing.

As a rocker, I want to thank you for this re-introduction to my roots.

One of my favorite songs of all times.

Old Willie Mac could lay that groove down without half trying, absolutely tack hammer sure with a voice full of history and Holy weight. No wonder they sent his music into space.................
Claudia Adam
so proud this voice now travels through space
