GREEN CORN (I'LL MEET YOU IN THE EVENING) Sung by: Sara Jo Fendley Click here to listen to the original recording Bring along your Jimmy-john. Rye bread, dry bread, Do to choke a nigger on. Green corn. Went up the road, And I saw the dust a-rising. A four-horse team, And a nigger up a-driving. Green corn. (Chorus) (Mrs. Fendley: "That's all I know of that one." Dr. Wolf: What is that, a banjo piece?" Mrs. Fendley: "I don't know what that is, but that's the first . . . Just about everybody around here can play that one song on the banjo.") Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #267, "I'll Meet You in the Evening." |
