What reading level is Some Current Folk Songs of the Negro book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" As I have not been on the farm much for the last two years. I have been unable to use the Boswellian method of recording these songs but have had to depend mostly on memory. The result is that some of them are not complete and some may not be textually correct. Of course the collection is not anything like an ex- haustive one.
If you consider these songs as the negro's literature, you will notice some striking parallels between its history and that of Eng- lish literature. As all of you know,... English literature for sev- eral centuries was little more than paraphrases of various parts of the Bible. The first songs I shall read you are clearly not indi- genous but are merely revamping the Biblical incidents and reflec- v^Jions of the sect disputes of the whites. The first song here pre- sented is one that I heard twenty years ago as it was sung on the banks of a creek at a "big baptizing. " It is entitled: TELL ALL THE MEMBERS I'M A NEW BORN.
I went to the valley on a cloudy day.
good Lord!
