POOR OLD SLAVE hi-lo
By G. W. H. Griffin � 1851
Trad. folk song
Key: D
Time: 6/8
3 3 4 5 -4 4 -3� 4
6 6 7 7 -8 7 -6 7
'Tis just one year a-go to-day,
4 -3 4 -4 -3 4
7 -7 7 -8 -7 7
That I re-mem-ber well,
3 3 4 5 -4 4 -3� 4
6 6 7 8 -8 7 -6 7
I sat down by poor Nel-ly's side
4 4 -3 4 -4 -3 4
7 7 -7 7 -8 -7 7
And a sto-ry she did tell.
4 -3 4 -4 -3 4 5 3
7 -7 7 -8 -7 7 8 6
'Twas 'bout a poor un-hap-py slave,
3 -3� -3� -3�-5.-3� 3
7 -6 -6 -6 -9.-6 6
That lived for man-y a year;
3 3 4 5 -4 4 -3� 4...
6 6 7 8 -8 7 -6 7...
But now he's dead, and in his grave,
4 -3 4 -4.. -3 4
7 -7 7 -8.. -7 7
No mas-ter does he fear.
CHORUS
4 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4
7 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8
The poor old slave has gone to rest,
-4 -4 -4 -4 -5 5
-8 -8 -8 -8 -9 8
We know that he is free.
5 5 5 5 6 -5 -5 -5...
8 8 8 8 9 -9 -9 -9...
Dis-turb him not but let him rest,
-5 5 5 -4 -3 4
-9 8 8 -8 -7 7
'Way down in Ten-na-see.
