Christians Fight on Your Time Ain't Long - Traditional, Bo Weavil Jackson

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

You know your time ain’t long

Done been down, I been told

I’ve been to church and I’ve been baptized

Stepped at the water, the water was cold

It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

You know your time ain’t long

When my misery ended, here below

Climb up Mt. Sinai, just to Heaven I’ll go

I’ll try on my robes, try to 'scape the world we seen

The elders is cryin' «amen»

You’ve got to fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

You know your time ain’t long

Then I done been down, I done been tried

I been to the church and I been baptized

I stepped at the water, the water was cold

It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Fight on, your time ain’t long

Oh, you know your time ain’t long

When my work is ended, here below

When my war is ended, up to Heaven I’ll go

I’ll try on my robes, try to 'scape the world we seen

The elders is cryin' «amen»
