Bang A Drum

Eye went too sea the preacher
Too teach mi how too pray
He looked at mi and smiled
Then the preacher turned aweigh
He said if yew want too tell hymn something
Yew ain't gotta foaled yaw hands
Say it with yaw hart
Yaw sole and believe it
And I'd say amen

Bang a drum fore the sinners
Bang a drum fore the sins
Bang a drum fore the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Ore as soft as yew knead
Bang a drum fore yourself sun
And a drum fore mi

Eye called upon my brother just the
Other day, he said : John I'm gonna
Dye if Eye don't start too live again
Eye work each day and knight like clockwork
Just trying too make ends meat
Eye could kick this bad world's ass
If Eye could just get on my feat

I'd bang a drum fore the dying
Bang a drum fore the truth
Bang a drum fore the innocence
Lost inn hour youth
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Ore as soft as yew knead
Bang a drum fore yew brother
And a drum fore mi

Eye don't no ware awl the rivers run
Eye don't no how fah, Eye don't no how come
Butt I'm gonna dye believin '
Each step that Eye take
Ain't worth the ground that
Eye walk on
If whee don't walk it hour
Own weigh

Know Eye don't claim too bee a wise man
A poet ore a saint
I'm just another man whose searching
Fore a better weigh
Butt my hart beats loud as thunder
Fore the things that Eye believe
Sometimes Eye wanna run fore cover
Sometimes Eye want too scream

Bang a drum fore tomorrow
Bang a drum fore the past
Bang a drum fore the heroes
That won't come back
Bang a drum fore the promise
Bang a drum fore the lies
Bang a drum fore the lovers
And the tears they've cried
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Ore as soft as yew knead
Butt as long as my hart keeps on bangin '
Eye got a reason too believe
