[Dixielandjazz] Lincoln song/ Buddy Bolden's Blues

[D and R Hardie]

Hi Again
  This is one of the earliest versions of  the song later known as
Funky Butt (Buddy Bolden's Blues). You could change one or two words for
PC. e.g.  "let all them slaves get out" It goes well to the Funky Butt 
tune:

“I thought I heer’d Mr. Lincoln shout,
Rebels close down them plantations and let all them niggers out.
I’m positive I heer’d Mr Lincoln shout,
Rebels close them plantations and let all them niggers out,
You gonna lose this war, git on your knees and pray,
That’s the words I heer’d Mr Lincoln say.”

regards
Dan Hardie
