Description / content note
-
This is an attractive little song accompanied by a very old and wheezy concertina most of whose original buttons were missing, some of which had been cleverly replaced by bits of reed. The burden of the song may have been more pointed because the singer was in fact a criminal serving a long sentence. The gaol where the recording was made was an open one with no walls or locked gates, and the prisoners they said made no attempt to escape. The song was said to have originated in the Gollel district in Southern Swaziland. Topical song with concertina.
