Footnote to Jim Dixon posting, "Oh, Peter Go Ring Dem Bells."

Clarence Cameron White, 1927, "Forty Negro Spirituals Compiled and Arranged for Solo Voice," pp. 28-31, provided a full score, pp. 28-31. He included a verse:

O Peter, go ring dem bells,
Peter, go ring dem bells,
Peter, go ring dem bells,
I heard from heaven today.
Oh, dey is gone where Elijah is gone.
Oh, dey is gone where Elijah is gone,
Oh, dey is gone where Elijah is gone,
I heard from heaven today.

At the time, Mr. White, an Af-Am composer, was teaching at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, then a Black school. The school has evolved into West Virginia State University.
