BEAR THE NEWS, MARY- G. D. Vowel, early 1930s
Bear the news, Mary,
Bear the news, Mary,
Bear the news, Mary,
I'm on my way to glory.
If you git there before I do,
I'm a-hunting a home to go to,
Just tell them all I'm a-coming too,
I'm a-hunting a home to go to.
Bear the news, Mary,
Bear the news, Mary,
Bear the news, Mary,
I'm on my way to glory.
