A new setting of the familiar text. First verse for male soloist. Simple piano accompaniment can also be played on guitar. Last verse SATB unaccompanied.

Effective, easy, rhythmic, with antiphonal effects between men's and women's sections. A good teaching piece. Easy to learn fairly quickly and flattering for small or large choirs.

An arrangement of a folk song, sung by my great-grandmother Jane Gentry to folk song collector Cecil Sharp in Hot Springs, NC around 1918.
