Work Songs

These songs were sung while slaves were at work. These songs told stories and helped them get through thier hard days of work.
Tell what the hobo told the bum,
If you get any corn-bread save me some.

A nickle's worth of bacon, and a dime's worth of lard,
I would buy more but the time's too hard.
