Umbrellahh

.


he boasts that he's got

   the strongest faith and screams:

      "Your faith shall save yahh!"


he prays it won't rain

   as he stands with his cane,

       a furled umbrellahh !

Preacher Man Blues (Inspired By Langston Hughes)

Preacher man said..."Put another dolla' in the plate!"
Preacher man said..."Put another dolla' in the plate!"
I got my blessin' on lay-away;
Don't know how long I gotta wait!
Preacher man asked..."How long did you suffer?"
Preacher man asked..."How long did you suffer?"
I said, "It ain't over yet,
'Cuz these problems are gettin' tougher!"
Preacher man asked..."Where did your faith go?"
Preacher man asked..."Where did your faith go?"
I been leakin' for years;
I ain't got nothin' left to show!
Preacher man said..."You ain't supposed to be tired!"
Preacher man said..."You ain't supposed to be tired!"
I ain't got no mo' dollars' to give,
Because I just got fired!
Preacher man said..."Lay your burden down!"
Preacher man said..."Lay your burden down!"
I put them six feet under,
But they came right back out of the ground!
Preacher man passed the plate...One mo' time.
Preacher man passed the plate...One mo' time.
I just gave him a dollar;
Now, he wants my last dime!
