Lyrics
(Music by W. C. Handy, 1920, Lyrics by J. Tim Brymn)
Hear Aunt Hagar’s children harmonizing,
Hear that sweet melody,
It’s like choir from on high broke loose,
If the devil brought it, the good Lord sent it right down to me,
I don’t know what it’s called,
But believe me, it is one mournful blues.
