Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning

by Skip James

Lyrics
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more
Oh, don't get weary
Don't you get weary
Don't you get weary
Because the work is more

Preacher, don't, don't you stop preaching
Preacher, don't stop preaching
Preacher, don't stop preaching
Because the work is more

Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more

Now, sister, don't you stop shouting
Sister, don't you stop shouting
Sister, don't stop shouting
Because the work is more

Oh, sinners, don't you get weary
Oh, don't you get weary
Sinner, don't get weary
Because the work is more

Now, if you pray, don't you stop praying
If you pray, don't stop praying
If you don't stop praying
Because the work is more

Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' burnin'
Because the work is more

Oh, sister, don't you stop moaning
Oh, my sister, don't you stop moaning
Oh, my sister, don't stop moaning
Because the work is more

Oh, keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin'
Keep your lamp, tremblin' a burnin'
Because the work is more
