- Lot Description
Fine pen and ink folk art song book containing seven songs popular during the Civil War era. Tastefully accomplished in calligraphy, each of these songs were lovingly penned inside a hand sewn, 8 x 6.625 in. booklet, ca 1863-1864, with "KINGDOM has COME" appearing at the center of the booklet, while the last song, entitled "Lament of the IRISH EMIGRANT" is dated February 21, 1864. All but two of the melodies are exactly two pages in length. Included in this song book is the wildly popular anti-slavery song entitled "Year of Jubilee or KINGDOM has COME!" In ebonic format, the lyrics, read, in part: "I come up Norf on a little bender, Left Missus at home wid no one to tender her. Ole Massa's gone, I dun-no what to; Sambo pretty sure he don't much care to…Met general Beauregard, on my way…he said up Norf, dey would skin and eat me…he said he had just whipp'd Gen-ral Bu-el, Grant and Wallace…in a dual. I axed him den, why he was running away. Sam-bo, says he, dat question aint fair play…Molasses Junction was a big scarecrow…its wooden guns nobody dare go; but when McClellan got a good ready De Southern Gentry seemed quite unsteady….Abraham Lincoln and Emancipation, De two tallest tings in dis tall nation; Hurrah den boys…Den sound de horn…beat de drum…Kingdom has come, boys, we've good times, beny…" Other songs include, "On A Green Grassy Knoll," "The Old Mountain Tree," "Harmonian Waltz," "Squire Jone's Daughter," and "The Sweet Birds Are Singing."
