I am impressed with all the interest in the song. Paul Cofer was my grandfather. Though he lived with us in the late 60's until his death in 1967, I never heard him play this. Until recently, I did not know that anyone had published recordings and now lyrics. Someone mentioned the word "nigger". I cannot recall him saying that around me, but when the music was written and recorded, that was a common term and at that time, I doubt if anyone knew about "politically correct". Since many of you have lyrics and recordings of the Cofer Brothers and Georgia Crackers, do you also have copies of the hymnals Paul and his father P.A. Cofer wrote before 1921? Thank you, all of you who wrote in about his music, you have made me smile and get teary-eyed.
