[PW] Louisiana spirituals search

[Judi Braudy]

We have a library patron trying to locate two spirituals (score and recording source, if possible) remembered from a Louisiana childhood.

NYPL Music Div. could not help from their files or the Index to African-American Spirituals.

I am not a list member.  Please respond to my e-mail.  TIA.

1. Probably called "Safe Passage"

Gonna have safe passage
Gonna have safe passage
Gonna have safe passage
Safe passage on our  way

2.  My Lord, you promised me
     promised me a long white robe
     and a band of gold.

     Refrain:
      I want to see my mother
      I want to see my brother
      I want to see my Jesus
      I want to be with God
      Home to be with God
