Paul Robeson - Exhortation lyrics

rate me

emember! if a brother smote thee on the left cheek

Turn round and hand him the other

For if you can't 'turn good for evil

What's the good of bein' a brother

Sez when the angry passions rises within thee

Say "Satan-go get thee behind me!"

Then stop and count a hundred

Then go about your business.

Be careful, be cautious, always look before you leap

Be sure you do some prayin', before you goes to sleep

To fight is wrong, it's wrong to fight

And no two wrongs can't make a one right

So try and be right unto the end

That's right all right amen amen!

That's right all right amen!

A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-amen!
