I was told by my grand dad that an old negro wrote a poem or a tune in 1863 called blowing in he wind. If you listen to the song
1---How many years will the cannon ball fly
2---How many ears hear people cry
3---How many deaths too many people died
4---How many years people exist to be free
I firmly believe this tune was written in the civil war and if you listen to all the words you can hear this negro word for word
