Quotes by John A. Lomax (?)

“Rochelle Harris, Chattanooga, Tennessee, went without his supper to record this chant for us. Once he had been the foreman of a steel-laying gang whose job it was to unload rails from a flat-car and then place them in position on the ties. The first qualification in the South for a foreman of this sort is that he have a good voice and a fine sense of rhythm, along with the ability to improvise.”
― John A. Lomax, American Ballads and Folk Songs

“Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall, Yes, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall; Yes, my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all, Yes, I hate you one and all, God damn your eyes.”
