Old hannah chords by Lonnie Donegan
Verse 1
G
And now, 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
G
Don't you rise no more
C
If you're risin' in the morning,
G
bring judgment day
C
G
Go down on high, don't you rise no more
If you're risin' in the morning,
C
bring judgment day
G
C

You oughta been on the

They was wakin' the women
C

like they do the men
Go down, old Hannah,
C

don't you rise no more
If you're ridin' in the mornin'
C

Rainy days, rainy days
You oughta been upon the brazzers

Nineteen and four
You could count many dead men
C

Most every row
Go down, old Hannah

Don't you rise no more
You ain't ridin' in the mornin'
C

Bringin' Judgement Day
While the captain was a -hollerin'

And the sun was shinin'
While the man was wakin'
C

And the woman was dyin'
C

Go down, old Ina,
C

We'll be ridin' in the mornin'

Green Judgment Day
