ROCK O' JUBILEE

O rock o' jubilee, poor fallen soul*,
O Lord**, de rock o' jubilee.

O rock o' jubilee, an' I rock 'em all about,
O Lord, de rock o' jubilee.

Stand back, Satan, let me come by, etc.

O come, titty Katie, let me go, etc.

I have no time for stay at home, etc.

My fader door wide open now,

Mary, girl, you know my name, etc.,

Look dis way an' you look dat a-way,

De wind blow east, he blow from Jesus, etc.,

*To mercy seat, To the corner o' de world
** Yes,
Rowing song as well as spiritual.
W. F. Allen, 1867, Slave Songs of the United States, # 33, electronic edition, sheet music shown.
