John Davis and Group Live Humble Lyrics

Chorus
Humble yourself, the bell done rung.
(Humble yourself.)
Live humble, humble,
Humble yourself, the bell done rung.

The bell done rung, the angel done sung,
The Lord done brought our hearts and tongue, m'mh-
I wonder what-uh Satan keep a-grumglin' 'bout,
He chain' in Hell uh-where he can't get out.

The Lord come along about the birth a' day,
He took the little baby and put his soul away.
You'd best live humble, you'd best live mild,
You'd best live like-uh some true-born child.
The windin' sheet is gonna win' us in,
A coffin lid is gonna hold us fast.
I was standin' at the sea of glass,
The sea of glass stood a magnifier,
I'm gonna join God's heavenly choir,
The Lord gonna raise my voice on higher,
Cryin', (Chorus)

The bell done rung, the angel done sung,
The Lord done brought our hearts and tongue.
It was something like Jericho wall,
Away on the island the water fall.

Zion' children got trouble in mind,
A-how long it rain now, cal) you tell?
Forty long day's and nights it fell,
The water got 'long about the sill of the do',
They all went up into the upper flo'.
The water got 'long about the roof of the house,
They heist the window and they all pitch out,
Cryin', (Chorus)

Well, the bell done rung, the angel done sung,
The Lord done brought our hearts and
tongue.
God sent Jonah to Ninevey Land,
Jonah went a contrary course,
The captain on the vessel got trouble in mind,
He say, "Go down, sailors, and search the deck,
Jest see can't you find no sleeper there."
The sailor went down about the lowermost deck there,
They found ol' Jonah there fast asleep,
He said, "Wake up, Jonah, wake up, man,
My God-a-mighty gonna 'stroy the lan',"
Cryin', (Chorus)
