Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying
"Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying" is a traditional gospel blues song recorded in 1928 by Blind Willie Johnson (vocals and guitar) and Willie B. Harris (vocals), who is thought to have been his first wife.[1] Some versions of the song recorded by other artists have slightly different titles: for example, a comma after "Lord"; or, "Cryin'" instead of "Crying"; or, an appended "Sometime" or "Sometimes".

gollark: I guess you might want it for aligning, but char length is technically wrong and you need (ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆAAAA) graphemes.
gollark: Unless you actually need *character* length, which you probably don't much, that should be fine really.
gollark: Or the accursed thing python does.
