Charlie Patton - King of the Delta Blues

Prayer of Death (Part 2)

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 rollin' 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
