2497. So Early in the Morning (Traditional Irish and American)

There are many versions of this traditional Irish children's song, including a sea shanty, an American blackface song and even a Malay version in the 1966 P. Ramlee film, "Nasib Do Re Mi", which I uploaded a few days ago:    • 2495. Sua Sue Kemuning (by P. Ramlee)   This video presents two of the other versions of the song, firstly the Irish version, which was popularised by The Clancy Brothers, though it is rarely heard these days, and secondly a song that appears to come from the American blackface tradition, though the earliest known publication was in "The Scottish Students Song Book" (6th edition 1897). It has some lines in common with "The Blue-Tail Fly", also known as "Jimmy Crack Corn", but whether it is a forerunner of that song or just borrowed from it is a matter for speculation. Like many of the blackface songs of that time, it would be seen as politically incorrect today, especially in the portrayal of the happy slave who loves his master and mourns his death. There may have been an element of truth in this as the slave would be aware of far worse masters that he could now be passed onto. The use of the n-word was not considered derogatory at the time and I have left it in for historical accuracy. This song was requested by Wings IV. Lyrics and chords: D .............................. A7 When I was young, I had no sense, ............................... D I bought a fiddle for eighteen pence. ............................ A7 The only tune that I could play ........................................ D Was "Over the Hills and Far Away." .......................... A7 So early in the morning, .......................... D So early in the morning, ............. G So early in the morning, .... A7 ...................... D Before the break of day. As I grew up I got more sense, I bought hard shoes for twenty pence And for to tap with all the rest, But I had no music for to dance. So now I'm big I've lots of sense, I'll keep my money and all my pence I'll find someone to play for me, I'll dance for my dinner and for my tea. I'll dance when I rise in the morning light, I'll dance all day and in the night In the summer sun, on a winter's day, I'll dance forever if you will play. American lyrics: C …......................... G7 South Carolina's a sultry clime, …............................................... C Where we used to work in de summer time, …............................. G7 Massa 'neath de shade would lay, ….................................... C While we poor niggers toil'd all day. …...................... G7 So early in de morning, …....................... C So early in de morning, …....................... F So early in de morning, …. G7 ….................... C Before de break of day. When I was young I used to wait, On massa's table lay de plate, Pass de bottle when him dry, Brush away de blue-tail'd fly. Now massa's dead and gone to rest, Of all de massas he war best; I nebber see de like since I was born, Miss him now he's dead and gone.
