Lyrics of Love and Laughter

Oh, sinnah mou'nin' in de dusty road,
Hyeah's de minute fu' to dry yo' eye:
Dey's a moughty One a-comin' fu' to baih yo' load;
Lif' up yo' haid w'en de King go by!

Oh, widder weepin' by yo' husban's grave,
Hit 's bettah fu' to sing den sigh:
Hyeah come de Mastah wid de powah to save;
Lif' up yo' haid w'en de King go by!

Oh, orhans a-weepin' lak de widder do,
An' I wish you 'd tell me why:
De Mastah is mammy an' a pappy too;
Lif' up yo' haid w'en de King go by!

Oh, Moses sot de sarprint in de wildahness
W'en de chillun had commenced to die:
Some 'efused to look, but hit cuohed de res';
Lif' up yo' haid w'en de King go by!

Bow down, bow 'way down,
Bown down,
But lif' up yo' haid w'en de King go by!
