3I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep
x3 When I woke up, had shackles on my feet
Twenty nine links of chain around my leg x3 And
on each link, an initial of my name I asked that
judge, tell me, what's gonna be my fine x3 Twenty
one years on the Rocky Mountain line The train
arrived, sixteen coaches long x3 The girl I love,
she's on that train and gone I looked down the
track, as far as I could see x3 A little bitty
hand, was waving after me If anyone should ask
you, who made up this song x3 Tell 'em it was me,
and I sing it all day long

5Sing Slowly
- Sing the song very slowly, taking about two full
breaths per syllable. - Extend each vowel sound carefully and
thoughtfully, as if singing in uniformly
slowed-down time. - Consonant sounds may be extended in a similar
fashion or may be stuttered.
6Breathe
- Pause to take breaths when necessary and re-enter
where you left off. - Do not breathe between words.
- Take time for deep, mindful breaths.
7Pay Attention
- Exaggerate the micro qualities of the
word-sounds. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeettttttt
tttttttaaaaaaaaaeekkk. - Visualize the vibrations of your vocal cords
slowly transforming from sound to sound. - Notice the sensations in your mouth and throat.
8Dont Worry
- About staying in sync Pick a starting word
within the song, any but the first word, and
proceed at your own pace. - About singing in the same tuning or key as your
choirmates. - About forgetting the song.
9Embrace Dissonance
- Attempting this action as a group may seem
difficult if not impossible. - The sounds made by your choirmates may be quite
distracting. - When listening becomes too difficult, rely on the
sensations of sound and breath throughout your
body.
