Transcript

In the middle of the night, there was no moon, but the stars don't brag. I got to a place where the tumbly's gross, and I heard a voice moaning.

Soft and low, I got you, I got you, yeasball. Not right there, and my blood run cold. I thought of my sins, what my mama done told. I tried to get started, but my feet wouldn't go.

Then I looked all round, but the voice said, No, I got you, I got you, I dropped you to the ground on my knees, I prayed to the Lord, get me out of this sleep.

I might have been bad, and days gone by but I want to do good. Before I die, I will Lord you bet the moon rose high. I listened for the voice and I heard it cry.

You better start in, to mend your ways, or I'll holler you, brother, till your dying days I'll get you, I'll get you, I was happy at last The voice was gone and the sun broke through, now I'm telling you, brother, he'll get you too

He'll get you, a boy
