em gunyou halaas Info Req: Death Come a Knockin (3) Info Req: Death Come a Knockin 07 Dec 04


Hello all! The more I learn about Trad music the more I wonder what songs I already know are actually Traditional. Maybe y'all can help me out. Here's one I used to sing in church choir (Congregationalist, lots of great music):

Oh, Death come a knockin on that sinner's door
Said old sinner are you ready to go?
He said no no no no no no no
Because I ain't got on my travlin shoes
Ain't done my duty
Singin no no no
Singin no no no
Because I ain't got on my travlin shoes

Repeat with liar, cheater etc...

Oh, Death come a knockin on that Christian's door
Said old Christian are you ready to go
He said yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Because I just got on my travlin shoes
Just done my duty
Singin yes yes yes
Singin yes yes yes
Because I just got on my travlin shoes

Thanks for your help!
