| Well, I done died one time
|
| And I ain’t gonna die no more
|
| Well, I done died one time
|
| And I ain’t gonna die no more
|
| Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah I done died one time
|
| And I ain’t gonna die no more
|
| And the time that the Lord, with the disciples, set down and talked with them
|
| at the table. |
| They were eating their last Passover together with one another.
|
| Said, «Out of you twelve, gonna be one that betray me.» |
| They were all sitting
|
| down there, enjoying themselves… That broke up their appetite because they
|
| didn’t know who it was, you know. |
| They begin to talk one to another.
|
| Wanted to know who it was. |
| Some got so worried about the thing, said «let's ask him». |
| One of them said «you ask him, maybe he’ll tell you».
|
| They were all troubled, you know. |
| A great table before them and they couldn’t
|
| eat. |
| Their appetite was gone. |
| So, after a while, one went to him and asked him.
|
| I hear one of 'em asked him something like this, you know. |
| «Who is it»?
|
| He said, «The one you see me give something out of the dish, that’ll be the
|
| one that betray me.» |
| So they watched, to see who it was. |
| While they were
|
| watching, it give them a better appetite to eat, you know. |
| Tell me my Lord
|
| spoken these words like this. |
| Let me see what my Lord said:
|
| It’d been good if that man had not been born
|
| It’d been good if that man had not been born
|
| Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah
|
| It’d been good if that man had not been born
|
| So he said to his disciples, «In a while, I’ll be with you. |
| In a while,
|
| I’ll be gone.» |
| While he’s settin' there talking, Peter began to understand
|
| this conversation, you know. |
| He broke down and commenced to crying.
|
| I heard him say to him:
|
| I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go
|
| I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go
|
| Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah
|
| Lord, I’ll follow you wheresoever you go
|
| I heard my Lord say:
|
| I’m going where you cannot go, oooh
|
| I’m going where you cannot go
|
| Oh, glory, oh, glory, hallelujah
|
| Oh, Peter, I’m going where you cannot go
|
| Peter made up his mind and he decided to go, anyhow. |
| My Lord said, «Before the cock crows thrice, you will deny me.» |
| Said, «No, Lord,
|
| I’ll prove to you that I’m a man… I’ll fight for you. |
| I will die for you».
|
| So he knowed that Peter didn’t understand. |
| Tell me that they brought them all
|
| the way to Jerusalem to try him. |
| They were standing around the fire, warming,
|
| waiting for the courtroom to open. |
| When the courtroom open, tell me they got
|
| my Lord in your guard. |
| Set him down. |
| Put him on the front row. |
| And they tell me
|
| he was seeking for witnesses:
|
| There was not a man to be found
|
| There was not a man to be found
|
| Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah
|
| Oh, there was not a man to be found
|
| And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed
|
| And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed
|
| Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah
|
| Well, they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed
|
| Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head
|
| Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head
|
| Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah
|
| Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on my Lord’s head
|
| And they put him down and chosen him a tomb
|
| Hey, put him down and chosen him a tomb
|
| Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah
|
| Oh, they put my Lord down and chosen him a tomb
|
| Just before they got ready to put him down, he’s sitting out there before
|
| Pilate. |
| And they tell me, Pilate’s wife said to him, «If you have anything to
|
| do with that man, I’m going to leave you.» |
| So, natural that a man don’t want
|
| his wife to leave him. |
| He didn’t want to be guilty of an innocent man.
|
| I heard him calling:
|
| Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands
|
| Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands
|
| Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah
|
| Oh, bring me a basin of water to wash my hands
|
| And I don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man
|
| Don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man
|
| Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah
|
| Oh, don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man
|
| Talk to me, then… |
