Were You There

This is listed as a Negro spiritual and is another one for Stations of the Cross.

You can find the text here.

I think my backing particularly poor but I put it up as something I would use as a hack guitarist to listen to, so I can get the intervals right with all those trembles over 3 1/2 bars. That’s about all it’s good for.

There is sheet music all over the net for this tune, for example,you can get a 5 part arrangement + piano here. Hymnary has some background and links to lots of other arrangements.

You tube has a lot of versions for your meditative and listening pleasure.
