Description

Transcribed by Nathaniel Lucy Sung by R.K. Moore Benton, Arkansas November 26, 1960 Reel 381, Item 20 Niger Holler R.K. Moore: The next two little ditties I learned from the colored crew when I was a very small boy around my granddaddy’s farm. Very often as the Negros were going to work early in the morning before I was getting of bed I could hear going along hollering what they called the nigger holler. It sounded like this. (yodeling)
