And a link to the arrangement for guitar and voice that I referred to:

I hope this helps.

Be well, everyone.

Here's the original sheet music by the Hutchinson Family....

And here's a pretty good rendition, probably somewhat close to the way Hutchinsons performed it......

BTW, I think Marek Bennett and Woody Pringle sang "Get off the Track" at last year's Antietam gathering concert.  If I'm wrong, Marek, chime in.  Am I getting it mixed up with another Hutchinson Family song?

Interesting, Al.  The accompaniment is very close to Ernst's arrangement, though published a year later.  The Hutchinsons might have been performing it for a while by that time, though.

Further, check this out:

Thanks, Dan'l.  Do you have an original copy?  Lucky!  The second link in my previous message will take you to the online version.

Dan'l can you suggest where I might purchase a copy of "The Anti-Slavery Harp"? Other than the facsimiles I see..

Comment by Roberta Perkins on March 21, 2015 at 7:15pm

Mark, thanks I listened and I have a copy on the way...

Roberta, you can download book from the link I most recently posted.

You could probably figure out a way to print it, if you needed a hard copy.
