since they started playing church
songs to blues tunes in the
churches the music makers have
found it kinda hard to put church
songs like ale Included Me" to
blues tunes. l was setting down
eating my fish and drinking my
beer while listening to US men,
bers of the Tribe-O-Haggar talk
ing about fust one thing and an
utter and | noted two things that
amt been so visible before among
members of the tribe, firstly Aine
Haggar's Chilluns beginning to
look and talk more serious lack
than they used to when talking
and thinking, second, in every
thing that they talk about cept'n
"come on less pitch-in and git
one," and some few other strictly
personal matters if you listen close,
as | do, you can see and feel that
we always included us out :.
AS | set there lissening at 'em
that's how come it come back to
me that it's been a long time since
| heard that old song in the church
"He Included Me-" and along with
that from what | heard, and from
what | been hearing here-lately
something has got to be done to
git Aine Haggar's chillun started
to including US in F. Now taking
line from that old song when
The Lord Said Who-so-never" las
my grandma used to say leaves no
doubt who is welcome to come over
in the Glory Land, but as one
member of the tribe pointed out
jess lack when the Lord said who
so-ever, He included me, we are
also included in the invitations to
assume the 'sponsibilities of citi-
zenship, which is where it's begin
ming to look lack were more and
more including US out times
done come, as this same member
O-the- said, that We done
gone to talking big, but we don't
do something we amt gonna git
muffin from what / got from
what | heard when the calls come
out to do something Yves got to
quit waiting for somebody to say
you-alls, cause if we ever hope to
go-on-up, when the call goes out
for who-so-ever-will, in the mat
ter of citizenship and community
responsibility we got to start to
including US in . >.
THE TIME AMT RIPE: These
are some words that Aine Hag-
CARS Chillun have had pointed at
'em from all kinds of directions
| but | got a new slant on 'em the
