Southeast Africa. At the dawn of day = Loko ku ti ga ; The stones are very hard = Maribye ma nonoha ngopfu ; Take Nabandji = Thata Nabandji ; They will not lend me a child = A ba boleki nwawa! -- South Africa. Song of conquest = Ringendjé ; Warriors' song -- West Africa. O lo ba -- West Indies. The bamboula = African dance -- America. The angels changed my name ; Deep river ; Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel? ; Don't be weary, traveler ; Going up ; I'm troubled in mind ; I was way down a-yonder = Dum-a-lum ; Let us cheer the weary traveler ; Many thousand gone ; My Lord delivered Daniel ; Oh, he raise a poor Lazarus ; Pilgrim's song ; Run, Mary, run ; Sometimes I feel like a motherless child ; Steal away ; Wade in the water.
