Sunset Four Quartette — Plantation Days—Part I

[Intro: Grace Outlaw & Sunset Four] Dear old Southland I hear you calling me [?] [Segue: Grace Outlaw] Listen, dear friends, and I shall tell A story of the origins of the spiritual Out in the cotton fields, [?] This song they sang to drive their tears away [By And By: Sunset Four] O by and by By and by I'm going to lay down this heavy load [Segue: Grace Outlaw] The day's work over, they start towards home The little log cabin for a hot corn pone Then a song would break forth from a cabin across the way You listen, and you hear someone saying [Nobody Knows The Trouble I See: Sunset Four] Nobody knows the trouble I see Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I see Glory, hallelujah [Segue: Grace Outlaw] Then as the sun went slowly down They all gathered round the camp meeting ground Some would sing while others would pray For each express himself in a different way [Walk In Jerusalem Just Like John: Sunset Four] I want to be ready I want to be ready I want to be ready To walk in Jerusalem Just like John
