GO PREACHING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS Sung by: Oscar Gilbert Recorded in Timbo, AR 8/28/59 Click here to listen to the original recording What a hypocrite will do. They'll come to my house To talk about you. They go to your house, They talk about me. And when they talks, They talk mighty plain. Sally, when you tell it, Don't you call my name. Soo, John, hallelujah. Go preaching through the wilderness. Some says a preacher, He won't steal, But I caught two In my watermelon field, A-preaching and a-praying, A-talking all the time, Eating out the inside, Throwing away the rind. Soo, John, hallelujah, Go preaching through the wilderness. Louisiana nigger . . . (Mr. Gilbert: "That's all I got.") |
