| Text Translation | Hold on! Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! Heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me I am the way.” Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! When my way gets dark as night, I know the Lord will be my light. Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! You can talk about me as much as you please, The more you talk gonna stay on my knees. Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! When I get to heaven gonna sing and shout, Be nobody there to put me out. Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! Hold on! Keep your hand on the plow, hold on! Traditional Spiritual |
