2.) Spirituals are a sort of religious
song associated with the black Christians of the southern USA, they
usually told a story about freedom, or an encouraging song that would
help them through the trials that they would face.
3.) Steal Away.
This song was sung as a signal to
gather revolting slaves to meetings. This song is about Nat Turner,
the leader of a slave revolt that ultimately failed. The lyrics
signify the call for freedom from slavery and served as a warning
call for rogue slaves.
I'll Fly Away
by Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
By Rebecca B. and Rebecca S.
