How interesting. The Nana Mouskori and Tommy Dorsey ones , and the first link are right. But Mahalia Jackson has this amazing haunting refrain where she sings, "some moaning, some praying, some crying, some moaning" which I guess refers to the people who couldn't get on the ark.<br/><br/>Then later, the refrain includes "Some running, some dying." I can't stop seeing images from Katrina in my head when I hear that. <br/><br/>I knew my faithful readers would be super-helpful geniuses. Thanks, guys. It’s not the Frankie Laine one.

Then later, the refrain includes “Some running, some dying.” I can’t stop seeing images from Katrina in my head when I hear that.

I knew my faithful readers would be super-helpful geniuses. Thanks, guys.
