PUBLIC DOMAIN
Traditional African-American spiritual (in print from 1909, in the Fisk Jubilee Singers' songbooks). Public domain. Melody encoded from the Digital Tradition folk-song archive's ABC transcription (via the yetist/music-score mirror of that archive) — a plain melodic line whose tune can be followed note for note, unlike the piano-arrangement MIDI that kept this song out of the folk batch.
Public-domain song — the basis above is why it is free for everyone.
