Blind Joe Taggart - Been Listening All the Day lyrics

Dark was the night and cold the ground On which my Lord was laid His sweat like drops of blood ran down In agony he prayed Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day A-listening all the night long To hear some sinner pray Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day A-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray Father, remove this bitter cup If that's Thy sacred will If not, content to drink it up Pleasures I fulfill Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all night long Hear some sinner pray A-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray Now, some say John, he's a Baptist Oh, he's nothing but a Jew But the Holy Bible tell us John was a preacher too Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray A-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray Now, a Man, he came from Heaven Oh, and camped upon the ground And whence He sound the trumpet Holy love come down Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray A-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long To hear some sinner pray Been a-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Been a-listening all the night long To hear some sinner pray A-listening all the night long Oh, listening all the day Was a-listening all the night long Hear some sinner pray
