The very few songs that do not come under any one of these heads as already given are represented by such songs as: "Ole Ark," "Little David." It is likely that the majority of the stanzas of these songs not originally composed, belong to them. It is a fact that the stanza in "Little David"�"I tell you once," etc.,�was a contribu�tion from a student of Fisk University. The chorus of each of these songs is evidently genuine. |
