Glad you all enjoyed! People keep asking us to do more, so maybe before the year is out, we'll do another song or 2.
I usually don't deal with lyrics, but here are the lyrics to the song.
Travelin' shoes
(Got on my travelin shoes)
Travelin' shoes
(Got on my travelin shoes)
Travelin' shoes, Lord
(Got on my travelin shoes)
Travelin' shoes, Lord
(Got on my travelin shoes)
verse 1:
Death came riding by, by my Mother's door
He said, "Come on Mother, are you ready to go?"
Mother stooped down, began to buckle up her shoes
And she counted up her cost, she had no time to lose
Then she moved on down by the Jordan stream
And she shouted, "Hallelujah, Lord, I been redeemed"
She cried, "Lord, I done my duty!"
"Got on my travelin' shoes"
verse 2:
Death came riding by, by the sinner's door
He said, "Come on Sinner, are you ready to go?"
Sinner stooped down, he didn't have no shoes
He hadn't counted up his cost, so he could not refuse
So, he moved on down by the Jordan stream
And the water came up to the sinner's knee
Then the water came up to the sinner's thigh
He said, "Oh, my Lord, I ain't ready to die."
Then the water moved up to the sinner's neck
He said, "Oh, my Lord, please don't take me yet"
Then the water came up to the sinner's chin
And along came death and just pushed him in
He cried, "Lord, ain't done my duty"
"Ain't got no travelin shoes"
