This is a piano instrumental of “Kingdom Coming,” also known as “The Year of Jubilo,” which is an American Civil War song written by Henry C. Work. Clay was also known for writing “Marching through Georgia.” “Kingdom Coming” is written from the point of view of slaves in Confederate territory celebrating as their master flees from the approaching Federal Army. The original lyrics were written in plantation creole, an obsolete slave dialect that gave way to contemporary African American vernacular.

Modern Lyrics: Say, brothers, have you seen the master with a mustache on his face Go 'long the road some time this morning like he's going to leave this place He's seen the smoke way up on the river where the Lincoln gunboats lay He took his hat and left very sudden, I suspect he's running away Refrain: Oh the master run, ha-ha And we will stay, ho-ho It must be now that kingdom's coming in the year of Jubilo He's six foot one way, two foot the other, and he weigh three hundred pounds His coat so big he couldn't pay the tailor and it won't go halfway around He drill so much they call him Captain and he get so dreadful tan I suspect he'll try and fool them Yankees for to thinking he's contraband Refrain Now folks feel so lonesome living in the log house on the lawn They move their things into master's parlor for to keep it while he's gone There's wine and cider in the kitchen, and you and me'll have some I suppose they'll try and confiscate it when the Lincoln soldiers come Refrain The overseer, he make us trouble, and he drive us round a spell So we lock him up in the smokehouse cellar with the key thrown down the well The whip is lost, the handcuffs broken, but the master'll have his pay And he's old enough, big enough, ought to known better than to try and run away Refrain The music in this video was made using Logic Pro.
