My soul is a witness for my Lord,
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, Lord, in a due time.
O, Methuselah was a witness for my Lord,
Methuselah was a witness for my Lord,
Methuselah was a witness for my Lord,
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 bead jus as clean as yo han,
An his strength became de same as any natchal man.
O, Samson was a witness for my Lord,
O, Samson was a witness for my Lord,
O, Samson was a witness for my Lord,
O, Samson was a witness for my Lord.
