Ladies and Gents! Big and small--
- Rich & poor, Come one and all--
- Ring the bell! We’ve come to bring a
- Ca-amp meetin’ and all-day sing
-
- Tie up the dog, lock up the barn,
- Hitch the wagon, sell off the farm.
- Put on your boots, throw off your frown,
- Grab your honey and gather round.
-
- No dancing bears, no daring deeds,
- No jewelry made of caraway seeds,
- No pills for ills you’ll never get,
- No cards to play or dice to bet.
- No lion acts or stunts absurd,
-
We’ve brought the greatest news you’ve heard,
- Old-fashioned preaching from a man
- With a big-top tent and gospel band.
-
-
Pull up your socks, dust off your spurs,
- Come and join, the Gospel Tour--.
- Bring your shame and all your blues.
-
Praise God! We've got Goo-od News!

Professor Tangen's Great Gospel Tour
 |
|
Imagine a wagon has
just pulled into town. It's the late 1800's or early 1900's. There's no
radio or TV, so this is a big event.
This album covers the history of American Gospel music from the slave
"hollers" to the Great Depression. For more on the history underlying
these songs,
