Singin' wid a sword in ma han',
Lord, singin' wid a sword in ma han'.

Purtiest singin' ever I heard,
'Way ovah on de hill,
De angels sing an' I sing too,
Singin' wid a sword…

Purtiest shoutin' ever I saw,
'Way ovah on de hill,
De angels shout an' I shout too,
Shoutin' wid a sword…

Purtiest preachin' ever I heard…

Purtiest prayin' ever I heard…

Purtiest mournin' ever I heard…
