Prayer of Death Part I
Charley Patton
The prayer of Death
Toll the bell
Call on them to toll the bell again
Tell them sing a little song like this:
Take a stand, take a stand, take a stand
If I never, never see you any more
Take a stand, take a stand, take a stand
I'll meet you on that other shore
I got his word, got his word got his word
If i never ever see you anymore
I got his word got his word got his word
I'll meet you on the other shore
I'm satisfied, etc
I have a right, etc
Devil heal, devil heal, devil heal etc
I'll meet you on that kingdom shore
I got his word, etc
Now here my hand, etc
Here where I hear old reverend that stopped and went in prayer. Now hear him calling the Lord : "Oh Lord, oh Lordy."
