Classic Poem

O, po' sinner, O, now is yo' time, O po' sinner, O,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?

Fin' de Eas', fin' de Wes',
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Fire gwine to burn down de wilderness,
What you' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Head got wet wid de midnight dew,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Morn'n' star was a witness too,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Dey whipp'd Him up and dey whipped Him down,
What yo' gine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Dey whipp'd dat man all over town,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
Dey nail'd His han' an dey nail'd His feet,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
De hammer was heard on Jerusalem's street,
What yo' gwine to do when yo' lamp burn down?
