Lyrics Were You There? - Sam Cooke

Them was going to Jerusalem
He met two strangers along the way
They were talking all about the Crucifixion
They stopped and hears what he said, he asked them

Were you there when they crucified the Lord?
(Were you there?)
He asked them, were you there when they crucified the Lord?
(Were you there?)
And one of them told him
No (no), sometimes (sometimes)
It causes me to tremble (tremble), tremble(tremble), tremble(tremble)
He said I was there
Yes I was there when they cruci- crucified the Lord

A fellow said, I want you to tell me if you were there?
Tell me, did they really, did they pierce Him in the side that morning
O Lord, he said if you were there
I wonder did they pierce the Savior in the side?

Sometimes (sometimes), it causes me to tremble (tremble)
Every time I think about how they did the Lord
It makes me tremble (tremble) 'cause I was there
And they really, they really pierced him in the side that morning

A fellow said, I want you to tell me, if you were there?
Kindly tell me
Did he hang there, and never say one word?

He said if you were there, I want you to tell me
Did he hang there, and never say one word?
A fellow looked at him
Sometimes (sometimes) I have to tremble (tremble)
Every time I think about how they done the Lord
It makes me tremble (tremble)
'Cause I was there when they cruci- crucified the Lord
