Lyrics
Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name.
Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name.
Hush, hush, somebody’s callin’ my name.
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, what shall I do?
Sounds like freedom, somebody’s callin’ my name…
Sounds like justice, somebody’s callin’ my name…
Soon one mornin’, death comes creepin’ in my room…
I’m so glad that trouble don’t last always…
