Note: Williams announces that she learned this song from her aunt, who in turn learned it from an "old Chickasaw Indian chief" who would visit her grandfather. The title is that which was given by Lomax. The English "translation" that follows, given by her aunt, is a decidedly non-Indian hymn. Setting: Roger Williams Plantation
