Hi all,

I've been doing some research into "This Morning, This Evening, Right Now/So Soon."

I think it may be of African-American origin. I don't know how it morphed into the Tell Old Bill- Old Bill versions or the "How many Biscuits" versions. Is tell Old Bill a sanitized version of the original?

It's also known as "Ain't No Use Workin' So Hard."

Does anyone use the same melody as 'Mama Don't 'Low"?
