Excerpt from Negro Poems, Melodies, Plantation Pieces, Camp Meeting Songs, Etc
The Old Shore Road
The old shore road is shady
And the old shore road is cool,
And often I stop by the wayside
When driving my old black mule,
And on my way to heaven
When heavy is my load,
The Lord Almighty done take me
Along the old shore road.
This old mule that I'm driving
He go up many a hill,
And long he tug on the traces
And pull with a right good will...
