Dar's No One Lak' Jesus- Odum 1909
I think I heard a rumblin' in de sky,
Dar's no one lak Jesus.
It mus' be mer Lord passin' by,
Dar's no one lak Jesus.
Stan' still, walk study, keep de faith,
Dar's no one lak' Jesus.
Sister Mary went up on de mount'n top,
Dar's no one lak' Jesus.
She sung a li'l song an' she never did stop,
Dar's no one lak' Jesus.
She argued wid de Fadder an' chatter'd wid de Son,
Dar's no one lak' Jesus.
She talk'd erbout the ole worl' she cam frum,
Dar's no one lak' Jesus.
