“Whene'er I Take My Walks Abroad”
Description
"Whene'er I take my walks abroad How many poor I see; What shall I render to my God For all his gifts to me?" "No more than others I deserve, Yet God has given me more, For I have food while others starve Or beg from door to door."
Notes
Although Randolph collected this piece in 1936, it is obviously older, as a parody was reported in 1904.
