120. Climbin' Up d' Mountain

Refrain:
Climbin’ up d’mountain, children.
Didn’t come here for to stay,
If ah nevermore see you again,
gonna meet you at de judgment day.
Hallelujah, Lawd, Ah'm
Climbin’ up d’mountain, children.
Didn’t come here for to stay,
If ah nevermore see you again,
gonna meet you at de judgment day.

1 Hebrew children in de fiery furnace.
And dey begin to pray,
And de good Lawd smote dat fire out.
Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day!
Good Lawd, wasn’t dat a mighty day! [Refrain]

2 Daniel went in de lion’s den,
And he begin to pray,
And de angel of de Lawd locked de lion’s jaw.
Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day!
Good Lawd, wasn’t dat a mighty day! [Refrain]
