Oh this old world, my Lord, it won't stand now
It was story, one made, by man, my Lord
I have to get ready, oh yes, for that day, oh Lord
I said the bible, (bible tells me so) oh my Lord, tells me so (bible tells me so)
That this old world, surely ain't gonna stand (ain't gonna stand much longer)
It's gonna reel (reel and rock) early one morning (early one morning)
I have to get ready (gotta get ready) for that day (for that day) Oh lord
I said the bible (bible tells me so) tells me so (bible tells me so.)
Oh this old world (ain't gonna stand much longer) it won't stand (ain't gonna stand much longer)
It's gonna reel (reel and rock) early one morning (early one morning)
I've got to get ready (gotta get ready) for that day (for that day)
I said the bible (bible tells me so) Well, well, well (bible tells me so.) Well
That this old world (ain't gonna stand much longer) it won't stand (ain't gonna stand much longer)
It's gonna reel (reel and rock) early one morning (early one morning)
I've got to get ready (gotta get ready)
Midnight ramblers (gotta get ready)
All night gamblers (gotta get ready)
You've got heav'n (gotta get ready)
And you've got flame (gotta get ready)
You've got to get ready (gotta get ready)
For that day (For that day)
I said the bible (bible tells me so) Well, well, well (bible tells me so.)
That this old world (ain't gonna stand much longer) it won't stand (ain't gonna stand much longer)
It's gonna reel (reel and rock) early one morning (early one morning)
