Blind Lemon Jefferson

 

 

 

 
 

The legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson learned the folk spiritual "Two White Horses In A Line", also known as "One Kind Favour", and then turned it into something entirely his own. 

 

Jefferson recorded the traditional "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" in 1927, two years before he froze to death on the streets of Chicago.

 

Although Bob Dylan followed Jefferson's arrangement fairly closely on his debut album, the two versions are also quite different. 


Brewer & Shipley opened concerts with this song for years.
