Correction (shall instead of will):

I WISH MY BABY WAS BORN- Dillard Chandler of Madison, NC, 1965 recording

I wish I wish my baby was born
And setting on my papa's knee,
And me poor girl were dead in gone
And the green grass growing over my grave,

That ain't not hit, ner never shall be[1],
Till the sweet apple grows on the sour apple tree
But still I hope the time will come,
When you and I shall be as one.

1. (Translated) That (ain't) isn't it, nor never shall be,
