OH JUDY, MY JUDY
(Niles No. 16 C)
1. "Oh Judy, my Judy, hit's time that I go,
I know you will 'tray me though I love you so.
Go take of this money and buy us some meat,
Our brethern are hungry, got nothing to eat."
2. For pieces of silver, for pieces of gold,
Our sweet brother Jesus to soldiers was sold.
"Oh Judy, oh Judy, today I will die,
Upon that high hill where the wild birds do fly.
3. "Oh Judy, oh Judy, it's you will die, too,
Because you did 'tray me when you might-a been true.
Oh Judy, oh Judy, don't try to deny,
You sold me to soldiers, and now I must die."
"From the singing of Pete Mulleneoux," age 75, Jefferson Co., Kentucky, July 4, 1909. "He was related in some way to the Whitmans, who lived about two miles away."
