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

There is a version of "Run, Mona, Run" called "Bright Angels." I can only recall the chorus:
Run Mona Run, run for your freedom, bright angels show you the way.
See Sweet Honey in the Rock's CDs.
Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys performed "Run Mona Run" in the 30s and 40s.
