ETERNITY (Rhodes - Lile) JACK RHODES & HIS LONE STAR BUDDIES (COLUMBIA 20932, 1952) Featuring Jimmy Johnson
Now listen then on this fine morning Before we start the song Just don't forget that life is short And eternity is long I don't know much about atomic bom Or anything like that But when it comes to fighting sin I think that I stand pat
Eternity... eternity Eternity is mighty long And life is mighty short
Just add up all of the things you done And tell me what you've got Just git yourself a-going Before Gabriel blows his horn For life is mighty mighty short And eternity is long
Yes, life is short, make no mistake And eternity is long But the combination is not so bad When you don't do too much wrong So when you gets a glory roll And afraid you'll lose the race Just depends upon your good deeds here And the Lord that made them great
Eternity... eternity Eternity is mighty long And life is mighty short
Just add up all of the things you done And tell me what you've got Just git yourself to going Before Gabriel blows his horn For life is mighty short my friends And eternity is long
They say the world is one big stage With actors in the play So before they drops the curtain You'd better kneel and pray Now times ain't getting no better And it's something you must know That charity needs a lot of help And this old preacher needs some dough
Eternity... eternity Eternity is mighty long And life is mighty short
Just add up all of the things you done And tell me what you've got Just git yourself to going Before Gabriel blows his horn For life is mighty short my friends And eternity is long
