Kate Campbell - Delmus Jackson lyrics

Delmus Jackson was a black man Delmus Jackson was a custodian He cleaned the church house five days a week Delmus Jackson talked to me He'd say I'm working for the Lord Gonna see his face for my reward And on that day he will say Well-done Delmus Jackson Delmus Jackson had nine children Delmus Jackson had great wisdom Do unto others as if they was you Delmus Jackson spoke the truth He'd say Jesus loves all his children And he will welcome everyone And on that day he will say Well-done Delmus Jackson Delmus Jackson bought me Cokes Delmus Jackson told me jokes He drank his coffee from a thermos Delmus Jackson made no fuss He'd say my bags are packed and I'm ready to go To meet the Lord on streets of gold And on that day he will say Well-done Delmus Jackson
