HALLELUJAH BOOGIE (Leroy Abernathy) As sung by THE HARMONEERS QUARTET RCA Victor 21-0321A, released May 1950
Jesus is comin' like God's own son Gonna be rewarded for things we've done If you get the blessin' and amazing grace Then you'll have a mansion in the resting place If you wanna look for the Master's face Sing hallelujah
Listen to the story that I'm tellin' my friends It's all about a fellow that was lost in sin He never even heard about the Promised Land He didn't even try to help his fellow man Now mighty was the evil that was holdin' him down A-keepin' him from Heaven and his shinin' crown He was spendin' all his money in the world away He didn't even think about the Judgement Day You better try to separate the right from wrong Now make the other fellow feel brave and strong And si-i-ing this hallelujah song
Sing it on Monday, sing this song Sing it on Tuesday, all day long Go to parent meetin' Wednesday night It'll Thursday, Fridays bright Saturday, Sunday makes it right Sing hallelujah
Dad is singin' it, mother is, too Ev'rybody's singin' it, what about you? Don't you wanna tell him how to join this band? Don't you wanna travel on hand in hand? Don't you wanna settle in Glory Land? Sing hallelujah
Lord will know His children, children He'll never line 'em up He'll never let 'em go He'll never say eenie meenie minie moe
Jesus is comin' like God's own son Gonna be rewarded for things we've done If you get the blessin' and amazing grace Then you'll have a mansion in the resting place If you wanna look for the Master's face Sing hallelujah
Well there's gonna be a meeting up in Heaven some day If you gonna make it you can't delay Now if Jesus has a blessing that he offers to you He offers you a blessing and delivers it too You better get upon on your bended knees and pray Hear me out, Almighty, there just one way If you get the blessin' like the Master planned You can shout hallelujah in the Promised Land Preach it to the world about the blood-washed throne Prove it to the world you'll never do wrong And si-i-ing this hallelujah song
