NOTES: "Byum By-e" is a traditional spiritual from "Nancy Thorpe learned it from her grandmother who was came from Africa and was old in 1862." It appears in Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands By Lydia Parrish. It is the second part of a medley with two songs: "Fa-le-well Shisha Maley" and "Byum By-e." They are sung in an African dialect similar to Gullah and are songs that deal with the death of a loved one and the response (Byum By-e). Both songs are arranged and appears with music in Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands.
