Back to One More River to Cross
ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was in the repertory of West Virginia fiddler and bagpiper Franklin George and fiddler Wilson Douglas. Mark Wilson (1981) says the tune bears a distant resemblance to a Negro spiritual of the same name. However, (as Joel Shimberg points out) the tune is a version of "Run Nigger Run" that was renamed by Frank George, who liked to play the tune in performance but who declined to credit the original title.
