Verse 1
And now, (G major) an African lament,
sung originally, I believe, in the cotton fields,
Mississippi and Louisiana,
on the hot days,
addressed to the sun,
and called, Go Down, Old Hannah.
Go down, old Hannah
(C major) Don't you rise no more (G major)
If you're risin' in the morning, (C major)
bring judgment day (G major)
Go down on high, don't (C major) you rise no more (G major)
If you're risin' in the morning,
(C major) bring judgment day
(G major) You oughta (C major) been on (G major) the
brasses in (C major) 1910 (G major)
They was wakin' the women
like (C major) they do the men (G major)
Go down, old Hannah,
don't (C major) you rise no more (G major)
If you're ridin' in the mornin'
(C major) Rainy days, rainy days (G major)
You oughta been upon the brazzers
(C major) Nineteen and four (G major)
You could count many dead men
(C major) Most every row (G major)
Go down, old Hannah
Don't (C major) you rise no more (G major)
You ain't ridin' in the mornin'
(C major) Bringin' Judgement Day (G major)
While the captain was a -hollerin'
(C major) And the sun was shin (G major) in'
While the man was wakin'
(C major) And the woman was dy (G major) in'
(C major) Go (G major) down, old Ina,
(C major) don't you rise no more (G major)
We'll be ridin' in the mornin'
(C major) Green Judgment Day (G major)
Green Judg (C major) ment Day (G major)
(C major) Green Judgment Day (G major)
One, two, three!
