Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Steel Guitar – Frank Welling (tracks: A). Vocals – Frank Welling, John McGhee. Both sides recorded 16 November 1927 in Richmond, IN.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya Well she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and cut your hair And from your lips she drew Hallelujah. Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked the floor Used to live alone before I knew ya But I've seen your flag on the marble arch Our love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
McGhee and Welling’s He Abides starts off with a short opening prayer by the Reverend Joseph W. Hagin. The duo recorded many secular songs along with their gospel catalog. They eventually cut more than 200 sides over a six-year recording career between 1927 and 1933. Frank Stamps is a co-composer here, and he ‘leads the way’ with his booming lead vocals. We will hear from the Stamps Quartet intermittently with our Sunday morning sacred songs through nearly every decade until we complete this journey.

Hallelujah" was released on the album Various Positions (’84). In a relatively recent interview (posted below) Cohen reminisces about being told that the album wasn’t good enough for an American market – and indeed it never really sold well. The song’s thematic content is oddly fitting for its history. The song’s constant refrain, "hallelujah," takes the listener through a journey of pain, joy, suffering, and celebration. This is a journey that all peoples know well, but speaks volumes in Jewish History. It's for this reason that the significance of Hallelujah isn't likely to wane anytime soon. In the wake of all the tragedies in this world, remember what Cohen sang: I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch.
