Rev. Clayborn performs in the style of a street minstrel. Notwithstanding his limited musical skills, he scored a major hit in 1926 with "Your Enemies Cannot Harm You (But Watch Your Close Friends)."

lyrics

Some people use the wrong way, the wrong way, the wrong way
Some people use the wrong way to celebrate Christmas Day

On the twenty-fifth of December 1928 (it's a national issue...) of heaven to the world that it's Jesus' birthday

Some people who work every day and draws good money every pay and here is what the same people said I wanna spend my money and have my way

While the church is praying on Christmas Day other people are roaming the streets and drinking their soul away

I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin
