Verse 1

Bernice Regan and I thought we would

in the last year
was not made on any stage
or on any phonograph record,
but down in a very muddy little village
called Resurrection City in Washington,
D .C. and the song fests there held every evening
under the leadership of Reverend
Frederick Douglass
