WON'T THAT BE A TIME

Oh, won't that be a mighty time, won't that be a time, (Twice)

Sech a eatin' of the bread, and a drinkin' of the wine,
Won't that be a time? (sing each verse twice)

Oh, hold down de wind, don't let it blow,
Won't that be a time?

Don't let that north wind blow on me,
Won't that be a time?

Oh, come along Gabriel, an' sound de trumpet,
Won't that be a time?

Sech a eatin' of de bread, sech a drinkin' of de wine,
Won't that be a time?
