Prayer of Death Songtext
von 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, never see you anymore
I got his word, got his word, got his word
I'll meet you on that other shore

I′m satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
If I never, never see you anymore
I'm satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
I'll meet you on that other shore


I have a right, have a right, have a right
If I never, never see you anymore
I have a right, have a right, have a right
I′ll meet you on that other shore

Devil hell, devil hell, devil hell
If I never, never see you anymore
Devil hell, devil hell, devil hell
I′ll meet you on that Kingdom shore

I got his word, got his word, got his word
If I never, never see you anymore
I got his word, got his word, got his word
I'll meet you on that Kingdom shore

Now here my hand, here my hand, here my hand
If I never, never see you anymore
Oh here my hand, here my hand, here my hand
I′ll meet you on that Kingdom shore

Here where I hear old Reverend that stopped and went in prayer
Now hear him calling the Lord
"Oh Lord, oh Lordy"
