Hear My Sad Story

The True Tales That Inspired Stagolee, John Henry, and Other Traditional American Folk Songs

"Polenberg returns us to the men and women who, in song, became legends. The lyrics serve as valuable historical sources, providing important information about what had happened, why, and what it all meant. More important, they reflect the character of American life and the pathos elicited by the musical memory of these common and troubled lives"--Book jacket flap.
