There is a sound sample at allmusic but I find it mostly unintelligible. The only phrases I think I recognize are "spring and summer," "blow, Liza, blow," and "trouble in mind."

The song is sung in a contrapuntal style much like the more familiar I BID YOU GOODNIGHT which is also on the same album.

Lomax should have asked his sources to dictate the lyrics so he could write them down. I wonder if he did?
