Negro workaday songs

by Howard Washington Odum; Guy Benton Johnson

From every grave-yard.

I looks unto de eas’,

I looks unto de wes’,

I see de dead a-risin’

From every grave-yard.

Have Everlastin’ Life

Better min’, my sister, how you walk on de cross,

Have on everlastin’ life,

Your foot might slip an’ your soul get los’,

Have everlastin’ life.
