30. Don't Yo' Hear de Lam's a Cryin'

Don't yo' hear de lam's a cryin'
way obuh on de odduh shore
don't yo' hear de lam's a cryin'
Oh shepherd feed my sheep.

One fo' Mary and one fo' Martha
One fo' to make my heart rejoice
Don't yo' hear de lam's a cryin'
way obuh on de odduh shore.

One fo' Paul and one fo' Silas
One fo' to make my heart rejoice
Don't yo' hear de lam's a cryin'
way obuh on de odduh side.
