Thread Name: Slavery-Era Song, 'Run, ======, Run'
Subject: RE: Slavery-Era Song, 'Run, ======, Run'

The song is first noted in the 1851 "Serenaders Songbook," and later in "Slave Songs of the United States," Allen, Ware and Garrison, 1867.
It definitely is about the patrollers and catching slaves.
