Evil Chillun by Janice & Bud Merritt

This public domain Western Swing tune was apparently first recorded in the late 1930's by several Texas Swing bands. The origins are lost and it is listed as public domain. I suspect that it might have been a blues or African-American spiritual tune that was arranged as Western Swing at some point.

THERE IS EVIL IN YOU CHILLUN, GATHER ROUND

THERE IS EVIL IN YOU CHILLUN, GATHER ROUND
