Songtexte Witness - Paul Robeson

Now, my soul is a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, my soul is a witness (For my Lord)
Now, my soul is a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, my soul is a witness (For my Lord)

Now, you read in the Bible and you'll understand
Methuselah was the oldest man
He lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
Died and went to Heaven, Lord, in due time

Now, Methuselah's a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, Methuselah's a witness (For my Lord)
Oh, Methuselah's a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, Methuselah's a witness (For my Lord)

Now, you read on down and you'll understand
Samson was the strongest man
Samson, he went out of one time
Slew ten thousand of the Philistines
Delilah fooled Samson, this we know
The Holy Bible tells us so
Shaved off his head just as clean as your hand
Strength became just like any other man

Now, that's another witness (For my Lord)
Yes, that's another witness (For my Lord)
Oh, that's another witness (For my Lord)
Yes, that's another witness (For my Lord)

Now, Daniel was a Hebrew child
He went to pray to his God for a while
King at once for Daniel did send
Cast him into the lions' den
The Lord sent an angel
The lions for to keep
And Daniel lay down
And went to sleep

Daniel was a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, Daniel was a witness (For my Lord)
Oh, Daniel was a witness (For my Lord)
Yes, Daniel was a witness (For my Lord)

Now, who will be a witness? (For my Lord)
Yes, who will be a witness? (For my Lord)
Now, who will be a witness for my Lord?
Who will be a witness for my Lord?
