Like a lot of songs that have been popular for a long time, this one has had different variations of the lyrics. The Delta Rhythm Boys recorded a very familiar version in 1930. but the earliest recorded version cited is from 2 years earlier by the famous Myers Jubilee Singers, which is MUCH DIFFERENT. That one goes out of copyright at the beginning of 2024 and the other more familiar one does not. So I'm starting to wonder: What exactly did James and Rosamond Johnson actually write? And incidentally, what was their actual song title? Anyone?
