Hear Dem Bells

from On Track by The Dublin City Rounders

lyrics

We go to the church in the early morn, the birds amma singing on the trees.
Sometimes these clothes are a very much old and we wore dem out at the knees.
At night when the moon amma shinin' bright, and the clouds amma passed away.
Well we ring them bell for the gospel light that will last until the judgment day.

Don't you hear dem bells, don't you hear dem bells. They amma ringin' out the glory of the lama lama lama lama, lam lam lam lam.

Well the church amma olda and the benches amma worna, the bible amma hard to reada.
But the spirit amma there as sure as you're born which is all of the comfort that we needa.
The wind blows cold through the trickle in the wall, and the roofa lets ina the raina.
But we sing the bells for the gospel fight, and we shout hallelujah again!

We work all day in the cotton and the corn, it makes our hands so sore.
And we praying to Gabriel to blow on his horn so we don't have to work anymore.
I hear dem chariots coming dis way, I know they coming for me.
So ring them bells for the gospel light and the land that I'm gwan for to see.

Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
