Prayer of Death Part 1 & 2 Songtext
von Charley Patton

Oh, the prayer of death

Oh Lord, oh, oh, oh, Lordy
I know you been calling him
Yes, the wages of sin are death
The gift of God, eternal life
Mmm, Lordy. He said:
"You′re a rock in a weary land
A shelter in the time of storm"
Mmmm, okay, amen
Then all of them get to moaning:
"Lord have mercy"

Oh, won't you save me, Lord


Ever since my mother been dead
Ever since my mother been dead
Ever since my mother been dead
Trouble been rolling all over my head

I′ve been 'buked and I've been scorned
I′ve been ′buked and I've been scorned
I′ve been 'buked and I′ve been scorned, good Lord
I've been talked about, sure as you born

I′ve been 'buked and I've been scorned
I′ve been ′buked and I've been scorned
I′ve been 'buked and I′ve been scorned
I've been talked about, sure as you born

Oh, hold to God′s unchanging hand
Hold to God's unchanging hand
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand


Wont you hold to God′s unchanging hand
Hold to God′s unchanging hand
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand
