about

JoAnn asked me to arrange this excellent song, which I did.. but it seems my arrangement was pitched in a way that was not singable by the average female voice. That's a catastrophe when it's a song that must be sung by a female. Jenny Katz-Brandoli fixed it, and it's her voice you hear. That puts a little distance between it and the original tune, so I'm calling this an "alternate version", but I did want to share.

Trivia: there are three separate versions of the melody on this track, PLUS a harmony. They all sounded pretty good to me, and seemed to work together, so I kept all of them.

lyrics

======

I met a man and he asked me for water
Though it was obvious I was a daughter of shame
I did not know his name

I met a man and he told me my story
Married five times and now living with one I'd not wed
I hung down my head

Who was this man that so knew me?
How could he see through the lies to my sorrow?
Why did he want to speak to me
I didn't know
I didn't know

I met a man and he offered me water
So I'd never thirst and could then be a daughter of God
A daughter of God

I met a man and he gave his life for me
Now I tell everyone come share his water of life
To stop tears and strife

Who was this man that so knew me?
How could he see through the lies to my sorrow?
Why did he want to speak to me
I didn't know
I didn't know

Who was this man that so knows me?
How can he see through the lies to my sorrows?
Why would he want to speak to me?
I didn't know
He loved me so
I didn't know
He loves me so.
