THIS HEART O' MINE

Cho.
Oh, this heart o' mine,
Oh, this heart o' mine,
Oh, this heart o' mine,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.

Well, I was a sinner, I was jes' like you,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
I prayed in the valley and I came right through,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
I went in de valley and I prayed one day,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
And who do you reckon I met on the way,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
Well, I met ol' Satan on dis way,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Well, what do you reckon ol' Satan say?
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
Says "Jesus dead an' my God's gone away."
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Made him out a liah an' kep' on my way,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
An' I never shall forget that day,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
When Jesus wash my sins away.
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
Mary had one virgin son,
An' she rocked Him in de cradle of Number One.
An' de cruel Jews took an' had Him hung.
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Cho.
Think how you walk on the cross,
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.
Foot gonna slip an' soul git los'.
God's gonna search this heart o' mine.

Sung by James (Iron Head) Baker, Ramsey State Farm, Otey, Texas. John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip.
