Refrain line is 'I Told You People That The Judgement Coming But You Did Not Believe In Me, Halle Hallelelu uu yah'. But what is the rest of the lyric? I have puzzled over it for years. One line is 'Lord ah'm only astandin around'. Opinons? |

In fact, a decent amount of the Rhyming spirituals give me the feeling of relation to some of the songs I grew up listening to in American popular music. |
