Go Down Ol’ Hannah
Lead Belly

Go down, ol’ Hannah*
And don’t you rise no more
And if you rise in the morning
Bring judgement day

Yes, I got up one morning
Could not lay back down
I was thinkin’ ‘bout my baby
She’s gonna leave this town

When I was get up in the morning
When the sun did rise
I was thinkin’ ‘bout my baby
And I would hang my head and cry

Go down old Hannah
Please, don’t rise no more
And if you rise in the mornin’
Bring judgement day
