Marion Williams - Mean old world

The growls she makes with her voice reminds me of Twinkie Clarke

Instruments? Any Music-smart people?

Love it! SING JUDAH SING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you were not depressed before, you will be after this song. This song has a spirit of depression attached to it.

the woman with the deepest voice is my favorite

Soul Shaking, Foot Tappingly Amazing. Makes me just wanna float.

I need help. Google is apparently allergic to anything older than about a 12 year old boy. This is all I can find for lyrics and it sure ain't Marion Williams!
Mean Old World --- Sam Cooke
This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean world to be alone without someone to call your own
This is a mean old world to try and live in all by yourself
I wish I had someone, someone who'd love me true
I wish I had someone, someone who loved me true
If I had someone who loved me true then I know I wouldn't be so blue
This is a mean old world to try and live in all by yourself
No, this is a mean old world to live in all by, by, by, by all by yourself
Mean old world to try and live in all by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by yourself
This is a mean world to be alone without someone to call your own
No, mean world to try and live in all by, by, by, by, by yourself
Sometimes I find myself dreamin' I found a love
Sometimes I find myself dreamin' I found a love
Sometimes I dream I've really found a love
Someone who loved me true as the stars above
For this is a mean old world to try and live in, all by yourself
Songwriters: Walter Jacobs


COULD someone please put lyrics up?

I hate what white People did to Blacks y’all should feel pretty shitty I don’t care if y’all apologized for a thousand years y’all will always feel that guilt.

Lol white Woman will never possess this soul.

My favorite! 2019

Raw and authentic. So amazing to see this - a time before posturing, posting and selfies. I also notice that these sisters are SUPPORTING one another in a way I rarely see happening today... in music, anyway.

Wow her singing is beautiful and not only that but she is telling a message that our people are oppressed and hurt not just on the 50s and 60s but now.

Thats right

Rev 12 God help us get over
God brought youll back for bad beating vagabond

God will make the enemies obey us until our time is up

We know it
I dont need no sympathy from enemiee
It is fake
There time coming soon

We know saints pray my strenght in the Lord
Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way
How cheering is the christians hope
Encourage yourself

💖 powerful beautiful voices

Beautiful ladies beautiful voices

New Orleans... :)

The way i love this. ..the quality of the voices the poise the execution of the notes the style the theatrical element's the Harmonys , every single singer killing but also a unit
Can see where the clark sisters get some of their style mum taught them
..and to top it off aint nothing new the big eyebrows and pony tail style the young girls doing and hairdos come back again and again wow God thank you for the gift of Gospel music. X

🙏🏽

How can a man judge another man with out judging him self when a man kill another man he also kill hemself. He go to jail die and go to hell.god don't wont a killer
