Subject: RE: Lyr Add: I Am Bound for the Land of Canaan
The lyrics don't jive with the music (commas are wrong, there is no "for" before "pray") should be as if you were singing it:
Sweet Canaan Fisk Jubilee Singers
Oh, the land I am bound For Sweet Canaan's happy land I am bound For Sweet Canaan's happy land I am bound Pray give me your right hand.
Oh, my brother, did you come for to help me? Oh, my brother, did you come for to help me? Oh, my brother, did you come for to help me? Pray give me your right hand.
Oh, my sister, did you come for to help me? Oh, my sister, did you come for to help me? Oh, my sister, did you come for to help me? Pray give me your right hand.
