From Professor George Pullen Jackson's White Spirituals of the Southern Uplands. "Under the title •Parting Friends,' McCurry (editor of the Social Harp) gives the following song with the note: The author, when eight years old, learned the air of this tune from Mrs. Catherine Penn. That was, therefore, in the year 1829.'" |
