ALL I DO, THE CHURCH KEEP A-GRUMBLING- James Weldon Johnson's (1925)
All I do, the church keep a-grumbling
All I do, Lord, all I do
All I do, the church keep a-grumbling
All I do, I do, I do
Yes, all I do, Lord, all I do
All I do, all I do
Try my best for to serve my Master
Try my best for to serve the lord
Try my best for to serve my Master
Hallelujah
Try my best for to follow my Leader
Try my best for to serve the Lord
Try my best for to follow my Leader
Hallelujah
Kneel and pray, so the devil won’t harm me
Try my best for to serve the lord
Kneel and pray, so the devil won’t harm me
Hallelujah
I’m going to cling to the ship of Zion
Try my bet for to serve the Lord
I’m going to cling to the ship of Zion
Hallelujah
