John Wesley Work collected a version of the song called "Ol' Elder Brown's" which was published in "American Negro Songs And Spirituals" (Bonanza, 1940 p.241): Ol' Elder Brown's in town Ol' Elder Brown's in town Ol' Elder Brown's in town A-with his long coat on Ol' Elder Brown tol' Griffin "Don't you think I'll win?" Goin' back to Shreveport Town Goin' build my church ag'in Ol' Elder Brown started his church An' de storm blowed it down den Elder sang this song "I'm all out an' down" He's on de road somewhere He's on de road somewhere A long tall brownskin man He's on de road somewhere Does anyone know when he collected this? Any other versions of "Elder Brown"? Richie
