A seemingly related version is in Allen et al.'s Slave Songs of the United States (with music).
91. THE HYPOCRITE AND THE CONCUBINE.

[1. Hypocrite and the concubine,
Livin' among the swine,
They run to God with the lips and tongue,
And leave all the heart behind.
Aunty, did you hear when Jesus rose?
Did you hear when Jesus rose?
Aunty, did you hear when Jesus rose?
He rose and he 'scend on high.]
Roland Hayes's recording of it is on Charlton Heston Reads The New Testament (Disc 2: Afroamerican Religious Folk Songs).
