ISRAELITES SHOUTIN' IN HEAVEN

Cho.

Shout on, Israelites a-shoutin' in de Heben,
This day, the Israelites a-shoutin' in de Heben,
Somewhere, Israelites a-shoutin' in de Heben,
I know, Israelites are shoutin' in de Heben.

Well Moses led dem children,
On down by de Red Sea side,
When de chillun they cried Moses,
Did you bring us down here to die?

Den de angel come a-shoutin' on de water
Crying yonder dem chillun go.

Cho. Go on, Israelites a-shoutin' etc.

Two angels came from Heben down,
An' they went back singin' this song.

Done born, Israelites etc.

Well, on the twenty-fifth day of December,
When Christ, my Saviour was born,
Dey wrapped him up in swaddlin' clothes,
An' den they hold him up to keep him warm.

Cho. All night, Israelites etc.

Well, Joshua, we was a-marchin',
Around that wicked town,
When de sun stood still up in de sky,
Den de walls come a-tumblin' down.

Cho. My shout, Israelites etc.
Shoutin' on, Israelites etc.

Well, don't you be like pharoah's daughter,
All dressed in rubies and gold,
She had a diamond ring upon her finger,
But she died and she lost her soul.

Cho. She wouldn't bow, Israelites etc.
