Angels Standin' In De Water

Oh, angels standin' in de water,
Walkin' by the light,
Oh, sinner standin' in de darkness
An' cannot see de light.

I want my mother to go with me,
I want my mother to go with me,
I want my mother to go with me,
To jine the social band.

Oh, angels standin' in de water, etc.

Rev. Eason, Johnson Place Baptist Church, near Livingston, AL.
