AIN'T THAT A WITNESS

Well, you read that Samson from his birth,
The strongest man that was ever on earth,
Read way back in the ancient times
Where he killed six thousand of them Philistines.
Samson, he went a-wandering about,
Samson's strength, it was never found out.
Samson's wife got up on her knees,
Saying, "Tell where your strength lies, if you please."
Samson's wife, she talk so fair,
Told his wife for to cut his hair.
Shave my head just as clean as your hand,
Then the strength'll come like a natural man.

Chorus: Well, ain't that a witness
(For my Lord - sung falsetto)
Ain't that a witness
(For my Lord)
Well, ain't that a witness
(For my Lord)
Ain't that a witness
(For my Lord.)

Well, you read that 'Thuselum, from his birth,
Oldest man that was ever on earth,
He lived nine hundred and sixty-nine,
Died and went to Heaven just in due time.

(Chorus)

John the . . . , John divine,
Who'd want to write that name of mine,
Stick my finger in the blood of the lamb,
I'll write that name, oh, too divine.
John, he was a witness
(For my Lord.)
John was a witness
(For my Lord.)
John was a witness
(For my Lord.)
John, he was a witness
(For my Lord.)
