Lit'le David, play on yo' harp, Hallelu, hallelu,
Lit'le David, play on yo' harp, Hallelu.

Lit'le David was a shepherd boy;
He killed Goliath an' shouted fo' joy.

Joshua was de son of Nun;
He never would quit'till his work was done.

Done told you once, done told you twice;
There're sinners in hell for shooting dice.
