"Train Your Child" was recorded in 1928 by Washington Phillips (1880–1954).[2] It is remarkable in that it divides into two distinct parts: (1) a spoken homily by him about child-rearing, and (2) an instrumental solo in gospel blues style on his unique zither-like instrument.
The homily comments on the Book of Proverbs (attributed to King Solomon) at 22:6:
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
