| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| You know your time ain’t long
|
| Done been down, I been told
|
| I’ve been to church and I’ve been baptized
|
| Stepped at the water, the water was cold
|
| It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| You know your time ain’t long
|
| When my misery ended, here below
|
| Climb up Mt. Sinai, just to Heaven I’ll go
|
| I’ll try on my robes, try to 'scape the world we seen
|
| The elders is cryin' «amen»
|
| You’ve got to fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| You know your time ain’t long
|
| Then I done been down, I done been tried
|
| I been to the church and I been baptized
|
| I stepped at the water, the water was cold
|
| It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Fight on, your time ain’t long
|
| Oh, you know your time ain’t long
|
| When my work is ended, here below
|
| When my war is ended, up to Heaven I’ll go
|
| I’ll try on my robes, try to 'scape the world we seen
|
| The elders is cryin' «amen» |
