Give Us A Song

(альбом: Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy - 1972)

Give us a song to sing, sweet Jesus;
Tell me the words you hear that may be kind;
Make it as long as the day's work before us;
Tell me the tune to teach the people just in time

You'll never know how hard I've tried to find you;
I travelled here, and I ended up out there;
The devil has tried to sing a song of evil
But he'll never know the kind of musci people share

Day begins, the fields are filling, Workers out to do their share
Song begins, we all are willing;
Let me hear his children everywhere

Give us a song to sing, sweet Jesus;
Tell me the words you hear that may be kind;
Make it as long as the day's work before us;
Tell me the tune to teach the people just in time
