Text Translation | Oh, who’ll join the union, oh, who’ll join the union? Oh, yes, oh, yes! Oh yes, oh yes! Oh, hallelujah oh, hallelujah! Oh, hallelujah, Lord! If you want to catch that heavenly breeze, Go down in the valley upon your knees. Go bend your knees right smoove with the ground. And pray to the Lord to turn you around. My Lordy! Who’ll join the union? Oh, wait, oh, wait till I put on my robe. Wait till I put on my robe. I tell you, breth-uh-ren, a mortal fact: If you want to get to heaven, don’t never look back. And my lovely breth-uh-ren, that ain’t all. Don’t you ever stop talkin’ about my Lord. Say, if you belong to the union band, Then here’s my heart, and here’s my hand. I’m a child of God with my soul set free. For Christ has bought my liberty. |
