Description

First line verse: Times hab badly change' ole mass now, Since de war am done."The leading melody of this song was heard by the writer in Florida. It was sung by a Negro, but the words could not be recognized. In the words here given the writer has attempted to express what seems to him to have been the general feeling of the freedmen since the close of the war."--Page 3.Cover title.From the Thomas A.
