Hear a short clip HERE.

Partial lyric (from the clip), below. This may very well be one of the endless-relatives songs, and lack nothing more for additional verses than additional family members. But once in awhile, this form also has a refrain. So-- anyone have anything else?

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

EVERYBODY OUGHT TO PRAY SOMETIME
Traditional Negro Spiritual. As sung by the Fisk University Jubilee Singers on Document reissue CD, "Vol. 3-Fisk University Jubilee."

My brother, your brother,
Every brother ought to pray sometime.
They ought to bow down on their knees,
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

My mother, your mother,
Every mother ought to pray sometime.
They ought to bow down on their knees,
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.
