The Staple Singers - Sit Down Servant lyrics
[The Staple Singers - Sit Down Servant lyrics]
Woah, sit down
Now, now, now, now, no
Sit down
Woah, please don't make me
Sit down
'Cause I just got to Heaven
Sit down
Gonna walk around
Sit down, servant, and rest a while, sit down
Yon come little David
Sit down
With his rock and sling
Sit down
I don't want to meet him
Sit down
He's a dangerous man
Sit down, servant, and rest a while, sit down
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down
No, I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
I just got to Heaven and I can't sit down
Says you can watch the sun
See how steady she runs
Don't let it catch you with your work undone
Joshua, Joshua, the son of a nun
Good God Almighty won't ya stop the sun?
God spoke to Joshua to do thy will
He said if you fight the battle
The sun'll stand still
He give me a lantern and he told me go
He give me a harp and he told me to blow
If I blew my lungs away
That I would get them back in a coming day
When I get to Heaven, gonna put on my shoes
I'll walk around in Heaven and tell my news
Look up, David, to heal the day
Tune up my harp and begin to play
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
No, I can't sit down
You oughta sit down, servant
I can't sit down
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Oh, sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
No, I can't sit down
Why don't you sit down, servant?
I can't sit down
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Now, now, now, now, no
Sit down
Woah, please don't make me
Sit down
'Cause I just got to Heaven
Sit down
Gonna walk around
Sit down, servant, and rest a while, sit down
Yon come little David
Sit down
With his rock and sling
Sit down
I don't want to meet him
Sit down
He's a dangerous man
Sit down, servant, and rest a while, sit down
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down
No, I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
I just got to Heaven and I can't sit down
Says you can watch the sun
See how steady she runs
Don't let it catch you with your work undone
Joshua, Joshua, the son of a nun
Good God Almighty won't ya stop the sun?
God spoke to Joshua to do thy will
He said if you fight the battle
The sun'll stand still
He give me a lantern and he told me go
He give me a harp and he told me to blow
If I blew my lungs away
That I would get them back in a coming day
When I get to Heaven, gonna put on my shoes
I'll walk around in Heaven and tell my news
Look up, David, to heal the day
Tune up my harp and begin to play
Sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
No, I can't sit down
You oughta sit down, servant
I can't sit down
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Oh, sit down, servant
I can't sit down
Sit down, servant
No, I can't sit down
Why don't you sit down, servant?
I can't sit down
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
