Bessie Jones - Get In Union

You Better Mind

You better mind how you talk
And you better mind what you talkin' about
You got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Yeah, you better mind how you singin'
You better mind what you singin' about
'Cause you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

I'm saying, you better mind (oh, you better mind)
Yes, you better mind (I know you better mind) (oh, Lord)
You got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Yet, you goin' 'round here, hop on door to door
You talkin' 'bout the thing that you really don't know
But you gonna give an account at the judgment
You better mind

I'm saying, you better mind (oh, you better mind)
I told you, you better mind (I know you better mind)
Because you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Oh, help your sisters, treat your aunt
Take it to yourself and God alone
'Cause you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

I'm saying, you better mind (oh, you better mind)
Yes, you better mind (I know you better mind)
Because you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Yet, you goin' 'round here from place to place
The way you livin' is a really disgrace
But you gonna give an account at the judgment
You better mind

I'm saying, you better mind (you better mind)
I'm tellin', you better mind (I know you better mind)
Yes, you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Yeah, before that preacher baptist you
You know what you promised God you would do
Now, you gonna give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Yet you get in the field, you don't wanna fight
You join the church, but you won't live right
But you gonna give an account at the judgment
You better mind

I'm saying, you better mind (you better mind)
Oh, you better mind (oh, you better mind)
Church, you got to give an account at the judgment
You better mind

Say, I'm a Baptist bred and a Baptist born
Say, when I'm dead, I'll be a Baptist gone
But you gonna give an account at the judgment
You better mind
