about

Based on the American Civil Rights song attributed to the Reverand Osby of Aurora, Illinois, itself revamped from the gospel song, "Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus." When over 250 freedom riders from many parts of the nation opted to stay 40 days in the Hinds county jail in Mississippi in the summer of 1961, the civil rights song repertoire was greatly enlarges, as the protesters had so much time to learn and sing together. Many songs, including this one, were made up or adapted in jail and taken back to the riders' home communities.
