Alison Krauss version:
Kosey Sisters version:
This “negro spiritual” is about being in prison
and awaiting execution in the morning.
"From these prison walls I'll fly"
means you will die and no longer have to suffer on death row as your soul flies
to heaven.
Best YouTube comments on this song from the movie “O
Brother, Where Art Thou:”
I don't want fop goddammit! I’m a Dapper Dan
man!
You watch your language, young fella. This is a
public internet page. If you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it
in about two weeks.
We thought you was a toad.
Uh, we hear that you pay good money to sing
into a can.
We're in a tight spot.
And stay out of the Woolworth’s!
