WHY'N'T YOU SHOUT LIKE YOU KNOW YOU BOUND FOR GLORY?

Why'n't you shout like you know that you bound for glory?
You got to lay down and die some day.

Why'n't you pray like you know you bound for glory?
You got to lay down and die some day.

Why'n't you sing, -moan, -shout, -talk, -cry, -preach, etc.

I found this one of the first times I checked out the Lomax collection on American Memory, over 2 years ago. I loved it immediately! Give a listen folks!

Should be great for a group to pick up & learn.

Rev. J.M. Gates recorded a sermon (two versions) titled "You've Got To Lay Down And Die Some Day" in 1926 (Click here for sound clips).
