Won't You Hush

(Reverend Gary Davis)


Oh, hush, hush
Somebody calling my name
Oh, hush, hush
Somebody calling my name
Oh, hush, hush
Somebody calling my name
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do?
Hush, hush
Jesus calling my name
Hush, hush
Jesus calling my name
Hush, hush
Jesus calling my name
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do?

Oh, don't you move my bed
'til the Holy Ghost come
Don't you move my bed
'til the Holy Ghost come
Don't move my bed
'til the Holy Ghost come
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do?
When the Holy Ghost come
Turn my bed around
When the Holy Ghost come
Turn my bed around
When the Holy Ghost come
Turn my bed around
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do?
Oh, blind man sitting by the wayside
Begging for his sight
Blind man sitting by the wayside
Begging for his sight
Blind man sitting by the wayside
Begging for his sight
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do?

Oh, hush, hush
Won't you hush, hush
Hush, hush
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what

Oh, hush, hush
What? Hush, hush
Hush, won't you hush? Hush!
