Letra
Go down, old Hannah
Don't you rise no more
If you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
Go down, old Hannah
Don't you rise no more
If you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
You would have been on the Brazos
In nineteen and ten
They was waking the women
Like they do the men
Go down, old Hannah
Don't you rise no more
If you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
You would have been upon the Brazos
Nineteen and four
You could count many dead man
Most every row
Go down, old Hannah
Don't you rise no more
If you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
While the captain was a-hollering
And the sun was shining
While the men was working
And the women was dying
Go down, old Hannah
Don't you rise no more
If you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
Bring judgement day
Bring judgement day
