'For This Old World Is Almost Done'

KEEP YOUR LAMPS TRIMMED AND BURNING
By Mississippi Fred McDowell

Well mother don't you stop prayin'
Father keep right on prayin'
Don't you stop prayin' for this old world is almost done
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
For this old world is almost done
Brother don't you stop prayin'
Sister keep right on prayin'
Don't you stop prayin' for this old world is almost done
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
For this old world is almost done
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
For this old world is almost done
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
Keep our lamps trimmed and burning
For our race is almost run
