Christians Fight On Your Time Aint Long by Bo Weavil Jackson Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1926

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Done been down, done been low
I've been to church and I've been baptized
Stepped in the water, the water was cold
It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul

[Chorus]
Fight on, your time ain't long
Fight on, your time ain't long
Fight on, your time ain't long
Mortal, your time ain't long

[Verse 2]
When my misery ended, here below
[?] my war's ended, up to Heaven I'll go
I'll try on my robes, not a stitch will be seen
The elders is cryin' "amen"
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Said I done been down, I done been tried
I been to the church and I been baptized
I stepped in the water, the water was cold
It chilled my body, but it never chilled my soul

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
When my work is ended here below
When my war is ended, up to Heaven I'll go
I'll try on my robes, not a stitch will be seen
The elders is cryin' "amen"
