Classic Poem

My soul is a witness for my Lord
You read in de Bible an' you understan',
Methuselah was de oldes' man;
He lived nine hundred an' sixty nine,
He died an' went to heaven in a due time.
O, Methuselah was a witness for my Lord.

You read in de Bible an' you understan',
Samson was de strongest man;
Samson went out at-a one time,
An' he killed about a thousan' of de Philistine
Delilah fooled Samson, dis-a we know,
For de Holy Bible tells us so;
She shaved off his head jus' as clean as yo' han',
An' his strength became de same as any natch'al man.
O, Samson was a witness for my Lord.

Now Daniel was a Hebrew child,
He went to pray to his God a while;
De king at once for Daniel did sen',
An' he put him right down in de lion's den;
God sent His angels de lions for to keep,
An' Daniel laid down an' went to sleep
O, Daniel was a witness for my Lord.

O, who'll be a witness for my Lord?
My soul is a witness for my Lord.
