POOR OLD SLAVE chrom
By G. W. H. Griffin � 1851
Trad. folk song
Key: D
Time: 6/8
-3 -3 -5 -6* 6 -5 -4 -5
'Tis just one year a-go to-day,
-5 5*-5 6 5* -5
That I re-mem-ber well,
-3 -3 -5 -6* 6 -5 -4 -5
I sat down by poor Nel-ly's side
-5 -5 5* -5 6 5* -5
And a sto-ry she did tell.
-5 5* -5 6 5* -5 -6* -3
'Twas 'bout a poor un-hap-py slave,
-3 -4 -4 -4 7..-4 -3
That lived for man-y a year;
-3 -3 -5 -6* 6 -5 -4 -5...
But now he's dead, and in his grave,
-5 5* -5 6... 5* -5
No mas-ter does he fear.
CHORUS
-5 -6* -6* -6* -6* 6 6 6
The poor old slave has gone to rest,
6 6 6 6 7 -6*
We know that he is free.
-6* -6* -6* -6* -7 7 7 7...
Dis-turb him not but let him rest,
7 -6* -6* 6 5* -5
'Way down in Ten-na-see.
