Scarborough says the stanzas are endless. Coll. by Mrs. Clifton Oliver, Alabama. Sung very slowly, almost as a chant, "each sentence being sung through the whole score. I've put just two sentences. to keep it from being so long, though they sometimes make this last almost an hour."
From Dorothy Scarborough, 1925, "On the Trail of Negro Folk-Songs," pp. 258-260.
