INFORMATION ABOUT ODETTA
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odetta
"Odetta Holmes (December 31, 1930 – December 2, 2008), known as Odetta, was an American singer, actress, guitarist, songwriter, and a civil and human rights activist, often referred to as "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement".[4] Her musical repertoire consisted largely of American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals. An important figure in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, she was influential to many of the key figures of the folk-revival of that time, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, and Janis Joplin. Time included her song "Take This Hammer" on its list of the All-Time 100 Songs, stating that "Rosa Parks was her No. 1 fan, and Martin Luther King Jr. called her the queen of American folk music."[5]"

LYRICS "ANOTHER MAN DONE GONE"
(As sung by Odetta)

Another man done gone
Another man done gone,
Another man done gone from the county farm,
Another man done gone.

I didn't know his name,
I didn't know his name,
I didn't know his name, didn't know his name,
Didn't know his name.

He had a long chain on,
He had a long chain on,
He had a long chain on, had a long chain on,
Had a long chain on.

They killed another man,
They killed another man,
They killed another man, killed another man
Killed another man.

Another man done gone,
Another man done gone,
Another man done gone from the county farm,
Another man done gone.


This song is performed by Odetta and appears on the album At Town Hall (1962)
