90. How yo' Do Believer How Yo' Do Today
1 How yo' do believer how yo' do today T'ank Gawd I git obuh Jerdan. (Both lines repeated) 2 How yo' do mourners how yo' do today T'ank Gawd I git obuh Jerdan. 3 How yo' do sinners how yo' do today T'ank Gawd I git obuh Jerdan. 4 Go your way and sin no more T'ank Gawd I git obuh Jerdan.
Sung to same tune as When I Git in Heben in Muh Elbow Chair. Both posted also in thread 116541.
Cleveland Index lists both as unique to Saint Helena but "How you do" variants in other collections.
