Lyr. Add: DON'T YER HEAR DEM BELLS?

Wukking all day in de cotton an' de corn,
Wid my feet an' my han's so so',
Looking for ole Gab'l to blow his horn,
So I won't hab ter wuk no mo'.

Don't yer hear dem bells? (Yes, my Lord!)
Don't yer hear dem bells? (Yes, my Lord!)
Dey are ringin' up de glory ob de morn.
Hallelujah!

Don't yer hear dem bells? (Yes, my Lord!)
Don't yer hear dem bells? (Yes, my Lord!)
Dey are ringin' up de glory ob de morn.
