A TRUE STORY OF RACE & RELIGION IN THE 1960s DEEP SOUTH
 
MUSIC 
Intro: “Yice Hole!" by CHIGGERTICKY; 
“Jesus Loves the Little Children” music by George F. Root, words by C. Herbert Woolston [public domain]
“Praise Him, Praise Him! All Ye Little Children” words and music: Anonymous [public domain]
Outro: “Jesus Loves the Little Children” performed (poorly) by CHIGGERTICKY
FUN FACT: The melody to “Jesus Loves the Little Children” was composed by George F. Root as a Civil War song titled “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching.” Root is also credited with “The Battle Cry of Freedom,” and “Just Before the Battle, Mother” (I’d love to hear that one!). 
Rev. C. Herbert Woolston apparently found “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp” a catchy little ditty;  and, inspired by Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, ‘Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven,’” Woolston appropriated Root’s melody to the words I learned to sing in Sunday School. 
 
So now you know!
