Brother Ephus Lyrics by Hedy West

Old Times and Hard Times

0

Brethen n' sisters, one and all
Ain't ya gonna harken to the Giver's call?
The Giver's call on the Judgment Day
Poor Little Moses gone away
[Chorus]
Where ya goin', Moses?
None a' your business
Come here, Moses!
I ain't gun' do it
Brother Ephus got a coon and gone-oh
Gone-oh, gone-oh
Brother Ephus got a coon and gone-oh
And left me barkin' up a tree
Boil my coffee good and strong
Bake my ho'cakes good and done
Make up a feather bed, make it up right
Cuz old Brother Johns is comin' here tonight
[Chorus]
What kinda slippers does an angel wear?
Golden slippers to skeet[?] on air
They wear fine slippers and wear fine socks
And drop every nickel in the missionary box
[Chorus]
Some folks say a preacher won't steal
But I caught two in my watermelon field
A' Preachin' and prayin' and singin' all the time
Slippin' the watermelons off the vine
[Chorus]
