I ask my co-workers "know any good slave songs?" they don't.
Lucky i do.
I like to sing this as I'm shoveling crap out of the junk truck at work (1-800-got junk?)
it's therapeutic and makes work (especially shoveling) go by a lot quicker.. i suppose that's what the old slaves created the song for.
kudos to Bryan Sentes, English teacher at Dawson College for introducing me to this warm and painfully delicious, or deliciously painful track
Go Down Old Hannah - Texas Prison song
here's a video that is merely a shadow of the original:
On a side note i created a great white slaver name/character while i was at work singing Old Hannah (ironic and wrong i know but hilarious) "Wilkinson Louisiana the Third" proud owner of 50 Negros, half a dozen Apache and a regular at madam Monique's New Orleans brothel. He has a southern accent and a big fat belly and kinda looks like the colonel from KFC. "you goan pick that cotton ya hear? afterwads i gona get you a nice cold glass of my wife's lemon aid, yes sir and ya can take a break down by the old river" See he's a nice slaver.
