Clifton Hicks "You Shall Be Free" (Bill & Belle Reed)

Get the tab 👉   / cliftonhicks   I learned "You Shall Be Free" from a 1920s recording of Bill and Belle Reed. While the song does contain numerous racial epithets, it does not contain any reference to lynching, as was falsely claimed by April and Lance Ledbetter in a New York Times puff piece on Dust-to-Digital. I contacted the Ledbetters and the NYT journalist to explain their error and request a correction, to no avail. The verse in question: "Some folks say a ****** won't steal But I caught three in my corn field, One had a bushel the other had a peck One had a ROASTING EAR around his neck." Often misquoted as: "... One had a ROPE TIED around his neck." The verse may actually reference a traditional corn shucking game that centered around red ears of maize: "The kiss was actually part of a longstanding tradition during the time of the annual corn-shucking. Tradition said that any boy who found a red ear of corn could kiss the girl of his choosing." https://leelofland.com/a-red-ear-of-c... "As they husked, and as the piles of yellow corn grew larger, the young men kept a lookout for a mutation, a red ear of corn. Not quite as hard as searching for a needle in a haystack, but only one or two of the ears out of the gigantic pile would be red. It was however the true prize, because the man who found a red ear of corn got to kiss a girl of his choosing." https://forgottenstories.net/2012/09/... "Hence, the colonials used finding a red ear of corn as a courtship ritual, and those who found red corn were permitted to the publicly kiss the person of his/her choice, an activity that would normally be scorned by the Puritans." https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/... Another good version of "You Shall Be Free" was recorded in the 1940s by Sonny Terry, Woody Guthrie, and Lead Belly.
