Prayer Of Death

Charley Patton

Open A

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, satisfied, satisfied
If I never ever see you anymore
I’m satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
I’ll meet you on the other shore

I have a right, have a, have a right
If I never ever see you anymore
I have a right, have a right, have a right
I’ll meet you on the other shore

I done left over here, left over here, left over here
If I never ever see you anymore
I done left over here, left over here, left over here
I’ll meet you on that kingdom 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 that kingdom shore

Now here my hand, here my hand, here my hand
If I never ever see you anymore
Now 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”
