paroles de chanson Moan, You Moaners - Bessie Smith

Sisters and brothers
We met here on some serious business
It's been some back biting going on
And the thing I want to know is who's been doing it
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
The thing I want to know is what bit me on my
I mean who bit me on my back?

You sinners
Hear my call
Satan's waiting for you all
Better get your souls washed white
Better see the light
(Amen)

Fire is burning down below
If you ain't right down you go
To original hot brim stone
Let you start right in to moan

You better get down on your knees
And let the god lord hear your pleas (oh yeah)
On that you want to rest with ease
Moan, you moaners

Just bend your head way down and pray
To have the devil chased away
Come let your souls be saved today
Moan, you moaners

Singing hallelujah
Flood up the lamb
Let your voices rise
Hear me talking to you
Ain't got no time to sham
(If you want to get to paradise)

You must repeat without a doubt
And let the good lord hear you shout (oh yeah)
Religion turns you inside out
Moan, you moaners

You better get down on your knees
And let the god lord hear your pleas (oh yeah)
On that you want to rest with ease
Moan, you moaners

Just bend your head way down and pray
To have the devil chased away (oh yeah)
Come let your souls be saved today
Moan, you moaners

Singing hallelujah
Flood up the lamb
Let your voices rise
Hear me talking to you
Ain't got no time to sham
(If you want to get to paradise)

Within, without a doubt
Let the good lord hear you shout (oh yeah)
Religion turns you inside out
Moan, you moaners
