When I Die Blues(based on Blind Lemon Jefferson's One Kind Favor/See That My Grave is Kept Clean)When I die, don't cry for me.When I die, Jesus will set me free.When I die, don't cry for me.Jesus will, Jesus will, set me free.There you sit, on bended knee.While my spirit flys, up above the trees.My soul is gone, from that grave.Jesus gave, me the strength, to be brave.So cry no more, on your knees.There is just one favor, I ask you please.Keep my grave, clean and sound.So no, unholy spirits, will hang around.

Keni Lee,
Wow - this is fantastic. Very haunting - love the point/counter point of the two guitars. Great vocals, too. Thanks for uploading!
