"Lawd, Ah wuz" in the Parrish version is something like a prefixed interpolation to "down on my knees." I've found still another seemingly related colorful version (no "one morning soon" lines, though).
I HEARD THE ANGELS SINGIN'
Who is that yonder all dressed in red?
I heard the angels singin';
It look like the children Moses led,
I heard the angels singin'.
Down on my knees,
Down on my knees,
I heard the angels singin'.
Well, who that yonder all dressed in black?
I heard the angels singin';
It looks like it's de mourners jus' got back,
I heard the angels singin'.
Yes, who's that yonder all dressed in blue?
It looks like the children just come through.
