Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
1. Come on mama, let’s go round the wall,
And dat suits me.
Come on mama let’s go round the wall,
And dat suits me,
Come on mama let’s go round the wall,
Don’t wanna stumble and I don’t want to fall,
And dat suits me.
2. Well Isah looked up and he saw the chariot coming,
And dat suits me.
Isah looked up and he saw the chariot coming,
And dat suits me.
Isah looked up and he saw the chariot coming,
Step on the wheel and the wheel keep turning’,
And dat suits me.
Same tune as verse 1
3. Oh, three more rounds up Jacob’s ladder,
And dat suits me.
Three more rounds up Jacob’s ladder,
And dat suits me.
Three more rounds up Jacob’s ladder,
Every round go higher and higher,
And dat suits me.
