Elizabeth Cotten - Time To Stop Your Idling Lyrics
Artist: Elizabeth Cotten
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Folk
- Songwriters: Cotten Elizabeth, Rankin Johnine
Time to stop your idling
Get on your knees and pray
Time to stop your idling
Get on your knees and pray
Get on your knees and pray
If you don't like your brother
Don't scandalize his name
Put it in your bosom and take it on to God
And tell it all to God
Used to have some friends
To come along with me
But when I got converted they turned their backs on me
Oh yes, they turned their backs on me
When I was a sinner
I knew my way so well
But when I come to find out
I was on my way to hell
I was on my way to hell
In the Know
