Name of a song from last night's The Walking Dead?

March 4, 2013 11:13 AM

No worries, no spoilers follow. In last night's The Walking Dead (Season 3, Episode 12) there was a song playing just prior to the credits and I badly want the name of it (and the artist of course). The whole song was accompanied by an acoustic guitar and was in a blues style. Lyrics follow:

Oh lord live inside me, lead me on my way
Oh lord live inside me, lead me on my way
Lead me home
Lead me home

Oh lord in the darkness, lead me on my way
Oh lord in the darkness, lead me on my way
Lead me home
Lead me home

Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm

Oh lord heaven's waiting, open up your door
Oh lord heaven's waiting, open up your door
Lead me home
Lead me home

Lead me home
Lead me home

Lead me home
Lead me home

The second time you hear the song, it's Tom Waits, "Hold On."

timsteil's link is to Jaime N Commons "Lead Me Home," in case the YouTube copy vanishes (as they are wont to do).

Response by poster: Yes, thank you timsteil! Also very interesting, kimota, they both have a whiskey-voice but I'd think Waits' is way more distinctive. Maybe some IMDB user screwed up.

Just to hopefully clarify kimota's comment: the Tom Waits song was used at the end of episode 11 of season 3 (a couple Sundays ago now), while "Lead Me Home" was at the end of episode 12 which aired last night.
