"Godamighty Drag' in Lomax and Lomax 1941 (1968), Our Singing Country, p. 398-399, with music.

Lyr. Add: GODAMIGHTY DRAG

Mamma and Papa,
Wo-ho, Lawdy,
Mamma and Papa,
Godamighty God knows,
Done tol' me a lie, suh,
Wo, Lawdy,
Done tol' me a lie, suh,
Wo-ho, my Lawd.

Done told me they'd pardon me,*
Well, next July, suh.

* (Each couplet to be expanded as
in the first stanza).

July, July, and August,
Done come and gone, suh.

Left me here rollin',
On this ol' farm, suh.

When Hannah ** go to beamin',
Make you think about your momma.
** (Hannah- the Sun)
When the boys go to steamin',
Make a nigger run away, suh.

Oh, me and my pardner,
We went to the Brazis,

And he could not swim, suh,
And he could not swim.

I crossed him over,
On a live-oak limb.

Ride, old dog-man,
You better ride, old dog-man.

When the Brazis was risin',
Riley walked the water.

From a group of Negros, Huntsville Penitentiary, Texas, 1934.

Could find none that are not in the DT in Lomax and Lomax 1939.
