Description

Set to the tune of the Presbyterian hymn “Revive Us Again,” this is a lyrical variation of the published 1908 version, which may have been based upon various rumored earlier sources. The 1933 Al Jolson film “Hallelujah I’m A Bum” included a different song of the same title composed by Rodgers & Hart.
