Prayin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Cryin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Mournin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Moanin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Groanin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Shoutin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Prayin' at the hills of Mount Zion, Lord, I'm travelin up the hills of Mt. Zion, my Lord, With the glory in-a my soul. Oh dat red, dat red, dat red, Oh dat purple, dat blue, dat white, dat green,* Oh, Lord, I'm travelin' up the hills of Mt. Zion, my Lord, With the glory in my soul. *Zi-on. One singer starts Oh dat red and repeats; the other singer starts another color, etc. Dock Reed and Vera Hall, Livingston, AL.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Climbing Up the Hill O' Mt. Zion From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 17 Nov 01 - 11:55 PM In the section on Dock Reed and Vera Hall in the field notes, the spellings Zionee and Ziponee occur. She actually sings Zi-on or Zi-yon -just stretching it out. Nowhere does she sing Zionee. Although the Lomaxes also recorded the Tartts, their version of this song was not mentioned, but the Tartts seem to be the ones who used this pronunciation. |
