1 Wheel in a Wheel

Chorus-
Wheel, wheel, wheel
O wheel, my Lawd
wheel, wheel Ezekiel said-
'Twas a wheel in a wheel.

Dark cloud risin' it looks like rain-
Dark cloud risin' it looks like rain-
Dark cloud risin' it looks like rain-
the sun drawing water from Emanuel's veins.

Git yo' bundle reddy I know it's time-
Yo' *cyan' tell de winter f'um de summer time.-

I wonder weh wuz Moses when de Church burn down-
Standin' obuh yonder wid his head hung down.
