Go Down, Old Hannah lyrics
Please don't you rise no more
And if you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day
It was soon one morning
When the sun it rise
And I was thinking about my good looking baby
I would hang my head and cry
Go down old Hannah
And please don't you rise no more
And if you do rise in the morning
Set this world on fire
If you had been on the river
Somewhere in nineteen and ten
They were driving the women
Just as hard as they do the men
You go down old Hannah
And don't rise no more
So if you rises in the morning
Bring judgement day
Yes, I run to the captain
And I shake his hand
I says here look a here captain
You got a hard working man
Go down old Hannah
And don't rise no more
And if you rises in the morning
Set this world on fire
And I told the captain
That old Ben was dead
And the captain didn't do nothing
But nod his head
So why don't you go down old Hannah
And don't you rise no more
And if you do rise in the morning
Change this world around
Yes, when I went to school
Teacher asked me one thing
She says to me, partner
Did your momma learn you to sing
Then I says go down old Hannah
And don't rise no more
And if you rise in the morning
I''d like to be knocking on somebody's door
