Songfacts®:

  • This traditional spiritual song rose to prominence during the antebellum slave liberation movement, and again during the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. It's a protest song about the refusal to bow to the powers that be, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in: "Like a tree planted by the water, I shall not be moved."
  • Some of the artists to record this include Son House, The Jordanaires, Charley Patton, Johnny Cash and Freda Payne.
  • This follows a typical pattern with spiritual songs where one line changes with each verse, making it easy for large groups to sing. >>>

  • Sweet Lady from UsaI'm looking for a rare song by Elvis Presley, & it has the words "squeezing tighter". I don't think it's "Stuck On You", I think it's another song by Elvis. Do you know the name of the rare song by Elvis?

    Sweet Lady
