Old hannah Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]And now, an African lament,
sung originally, I believe, in the cotton fields,
Mississippi and Louisiana,
on the hot days,
addressed to the sun,
and called, Go Down, Old Hannah.
Go down, old Hannah
[C]Don't you rise no [G]more
If you're risin' in the morn[C]ing,
bring judgment [G]day
Go down on high, [C]don't you rise no [G]more
If you're risin' in the morning,
[C]bring judgment day
[G]You oughta bee[C]n on [G]the
brasses [C]in [G]1910
They was wakin' the women
[C]like they do the [G]men
Go down, old Hannah,
[C]don't you rise no [G]more
If you're ridin' in the mornin'
[C]Rainy days, rainy [G]days
You oughta been upon the brazzers
[C]Nineteen and fou[G]r
You could count many dead men
[C]Most every [G]row
Go down, old Hannah
[C]Don't you rise no [G]more
You ain't ridin' in the mornin'
[C]Bringin' Judgement [G]Day
While the captain was a -hollerin'
[C]And the sun was shin[G]in'
While the man was wakin'
[C]And the woman was [G]dy in'
[C]Go [G]down, old Ina,
[C]don't you rise no [G]more
We'll be ridin' in the mornin'
[C]Green Judgment [G]Day
Green Judg[C]ment [G]Day
[C]Green Judgment Day[G]
One, two, three!
