Keep Your Hand On That Plough is a simple but powerful song. There is a version in the DT but the midi with it is in a major rather than the minor key that I learned it in.

Here is the song as I learned it -- it may have been from an old Mahalia Jackson 33, I am not sure:

Keep Your Hand On That Plow, Hold On

 

Em--------------------A7-----------
Mary wore three links of chain
Em--------------------------A7------
And every link bore Jesus' name
Em---------------------------------B7
Keep your hand on that plow,
Em------
Hold on
 
Chorus:
A7-------
Hold on,
A7--Em------
Hold on
Em----------B7-------------------
Keep your hand on that plow,
B7-----Em
Hold on

Paul and SIlas bound in jail
Had nobody for to pay their bail
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on

They began to pray and shout
The walls fell down and they walked right out
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Now what set Paul and Silas free
Is good enough for a  sinner like me
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
 
 

I don't have a MIDI interface, but I can send you a small .mp3 of it if you wish -- give me an email address.

Warmest regards,

Amos
