Lord, I won't stop praying
(That's what Satan's grumblin' about)
as sung by R.L. Pollard, recorded by Cortez Reece, 1950
Recorded on Work & Pray: Historic Negro Spirituals and Work Songs from West Virginia (WVU PRESS SA-4)
Transcribed by Charlie Baum

CHORUS:
Lord, I won't stop praying
(Lord (or) And (or) Ø) I won't stop praying
(Lord (or) And (or) Ø) I won't stop praying
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
["Lord," "And," or nothing at all depending on the verse]

Satan's mad and I am glad
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
He missed that soul he thought he had
That's what Satan's grumblin' about

Never you mind what Satan say
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
Never has taught one soul to pray
That's what Satan's grumblin' about

O Satan is like a snake in the grass
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
You don't mind he gonna conjure you*
That's what Satan's grumblin' about

O Satan's a liar and a conjurer too
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
If you don't mind he will conjure you
That's what Satan's grumblin' about

O Satan wears those hypocrite shoes
That's what Satan's grumblin' about
You don't mind he will slip 'em on you
That's what Satan's grumblin' about

*[perhaps a self-Bowdlerization?]

Only the normal ' on your keyboard is needed. Maybe a clone will correct.
