"Wade in the Water" (Roud 5439) is an African American jubilee song, a spiritual—in reference to a genre of music "created and first sung by African Americans in slavery." The lyrics to "Wade in the Water" were first co-published in 1901 in New Jubilee Songs as Sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers by Frederick J. Work and his brother, John Wesley Work Jr., an educator at the historically black college in Nashville, Tennessee, Fisk University. Work Jr. (1871–1925)—who is also known as John Work II—spent thirty years collecting, promoting, and reviving the songcraft of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, which included being a member and director of the Fisk Jubilee Quartet. The Sunset Four Jubilee Singers made the first commercial recording of "Wade in the Water" in 1925—released by Paramount Re

  • Wade in the Water è un brano spiritual. Il ritornello è: Wade in the water.Wade in the water children.Wade in the water.God's gonna trouble the water. Il testo può essere messo in relazione sia al Vecchio che al Nuovo Testamento. Varie fonti sostengono che canzoni come "Wade in the water" contenessero indicazioni, rivolte agli schiavi in fuga, utili per non essere catturati e per prendere la strada migliore al fine di raggiungere la libertà. Questa canzone in particolare consiglierebbe di lasciare le vie di terra per dirigersi verso l'acqua come strategia volta a depistare i segugi. Refrain (it)
