EARLY IDAHO SONGS OF THE MONTH

June 2010

 

Seven Devil Song (Hannibal F. "Seven Devils" Johnson, 1890s). This song appears as a poem in Johnson's book Poems of Idaho, with the following note: "Composed and sung while in camp at the mines ." The lyrics and meter of the song leave no doubt that it was sung to the melody of "Oh Susanna." The rendition here is by Gary Eller.
