Pray on, pray on; Pray on dem light us O on, Pray on, De union break of day. My sister, you come to see baptize, In de union break of day; My 'loved sister, you come to see baptize, In de union break of day. [As an interpretation of "dem light us over," I suggest" de night is over;" and "union" should probably have a capital U. "De night is over; de Union break of day (da comin')" The interchange of and n is not uncommon, and is illustrated again in this song in the word “Union," which was pronounced "yuliul" by the person who sang it to me. This song and Nos. 38, 41, 42, 43, 119, 122, and 123, came on to the plantation after I left.-C. P. W.] 119. GOOD NEWS, MEMBER. Good news, member, good news, member, Don't you mind what Satan say; Good news, member, good news, And I hearde from heav'n to day. 1. My brud- der have a seat and I so glad, Good news, member, good news; My brudder have a seat and I so glad, And I hearde from heav'n to day. 2 Mr. Hawley have a home in Paradise. 3 Archangel bring baptizing down. 120. I WANT TO DIE LIKE-A LAZARUS DIE. |
