Subject: Info Req: Death Come a Knockin
Hello all! The more I learn about Trad music the more I wonder what songs I already know are actually Traditional. Maybe y'all can help me out. Here's one I used to sing in church choir (Congregationalist, lots of great music):
Oh, Death come a knockin on that sinner's door Said old sinner are you ready to go? He said no no no no no no no Because I ain't got on my travlin shoes Ain't done my duty Singin no no no Singin no no no Because I ain't got on my travlin shoes
Repeat with liar, cheater etc...
Oh, Death come a knockin on that Christian's door Said old Christian are you ready to go He said yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Because I just got on my travlin shoes Just done my duty Singin yes yes yes Singin yes yes yes Because I just got on my travlin shoes
