BROTHER EPHUS Brothers and sisters one and all Ain't you gonna listen to the giver's call The giver's call on the Judgment Day Poor little Moses goin' away Say, where you goin', Moses None o' your business Come here, Moses I ain't a-gonna do it Brother Ephus got a coon and gone on, gone on, gone on Brother Ephus got a coon and gone on, left me barking up a tree Boil my coffee good and strong Bake my hoecakes good and done Make me a feather bed and make it up right Old brother Johnson coming here tonight Oh, what kind of slippers do the angels wear Golden slippers to skate on air They wear fine slippers and they wear fine socks Drop every nickel in the missionary's box Now, some folks say that a preacher won't steal But I caught two in my watermelon field The were preaching and a-praying and a-singing all the time Slipping them watermelons off the vine Heard first from Hedy West, probably at UCLA in 1972. Learned from a tape of one of her records. JN @banjo filename[ BRORPHUS JN |
