"Mary Don't You Weep" (alternately titled "O Mary Don't You Weep", "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep, Don't You Mourn", or variations thereof) is a Negro spiritual that originates from before the American Civil War-- thus it is what scholars call a "slave song," "a label that describes their origins among the enslaved," and it contains "coded messages of hope and resistance." It is one of the most important of Negro spirituals. en.wikipedia.org MUSICIANS Bruce Springsteen: lead vocals,guitar The Seeger Sessions Band: Sam Bardfeld violin,vocals Art Baron souzaphone,trombone,mandolin,penny whistle,euphonium Frank Bruno acoustic guitar,vocals,field drum Jeremy Chatzky bass Larry Eagle drums,percussion Clark Gayton trombone,vocals,percussion Charlie Giordano accordion,piano,organ,vocals Curtis King Jr. vocals,percussion Greg Liszt banjo,vocals Lisa Lowell vocals,percussion Ed Manion saxophone,vocals,percussion Cindy Mizelle vocals,percussion Curt Ramm trumpet,vocals,percussion Marty Rifk! in steel guitar,dobro,mandolin Patti Scialfa acoustic guitar,vocals Marc Anthony Thompson acoustic guitar,vocals Soozie Tyrell violin,vocals
