'''Blind Lemon Jefferson''', also known as '''Blind Lemon Pye''' (or in early life just '''Lemon Jefferson'''), was a [[blind]] [[black]] [[musician]] of the early 20s. He achieved big musical success with records like "See That My Grave is Kept Clean" and "Cleaning Windows." The former song contains the lyrics:
:Well, my heart stopped beating and my hands turned cold,
:Now [[Biblical inerrancy|I believe]] what the [[Bible]] told.
Blind Melon Jefferson died in 1929, which was very young for such a great musician.
