But Mmario, wouldn't that just bring out the Sawzalls? (And is that a fiddle band?)

I have it in the book of spirituals I have been studying, so.... either it always was one, or it was borrowed and made one. The title I have is "I'm Workin' on the Buildin'."

It's ripe for additional or floating verses, but this is what I have on it.

=========================================

I'M WORKIN' ON THE BUILDIN'

LEADER (use as CHO):
I'm workin' on the buildin' for my Lord, for my Lord, for my Lord,
I'm workin' on the buildin' for my Lord...
Working' on the buildin' too.

VERSES:
If I was a sinner, I tell you what I would do,
I'd throw away my sinful ways
An' work on the buildin' too.

If I was a dancer, I tell you what I would do,
I'd throw away my dancin' shoes
An' work on the buildin' too.

If I was a gambler, I tell you what I would do,
I'd throw away my gamblin' dice
An' work on the buildin' too.
