One of the songs in their setlist was &#8220;There&#8217;s A Meetin&#8217; Here Tonight.&#8221; Bob Gibson had rearranged and sanitized an old Methodist camp meeting song by taking the words &#8220;sinner&#8221; and &#8220;Satan&#8221; out. This is the original version as would have been sung in the nineteenth century in rural North America.<\/p>\n<p>I thought this would be an appropriate way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Folk Den with one of the first songs I played professionally over 55 years ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\n[E] There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, [B7] There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\n[E] I know you by your [A] daily walk There&#8217;s a [E] meetin&#8217; [B7] here [E] tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; out in the wilderness, a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nWe ain&#8217;t gonna give that sinner no chance There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>That gamblin&#8217; man just cannot stand There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re gonna drive Satan from this land There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; out in the wilderness  a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nWe ain&#8217;t gonna give that sinner no chance There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight, There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<br \/>\nI know you by your daily walk There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a meetin&#8217; here tonight<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
