No more, My Lord
Sung by Jimpson with men chopping trees.
Chorus:
No more, my Lord,
no more, my Lord,
Lord, i'll never turn back no more.
i found in him a resting place,
and he have made me glad (chorus)
Jesus, the man i am looking for,
can you tell me where he's gone?
(chip strikes microphone)
Go down, go down, among flower yard,
And perhaps you may find him there.

Between years 1933-1959 Alan Lomax recorded black inmates singing on chaingang. There is a theory about these songs and calls that they were sung by the first slaves while they were working and in the prisons these songs continued living after slavery (Black man in a prison at the time was much the same as a slave) From these songs blues is believed to be formed and this is probably the reason why blues was called "devil's music" like rock-n-roll later was.
