Song title: Amen
(Curtis Mayfield) by The Impressions (ABC-Paramount 10602), 1964
Amen
Amen, Amen, A-Amen, Amen, Amen
With the horns now, Amen
With the rhythm now, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen
Everybody now Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen,
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine yeah, yeah
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine to show my love
One thing my papa used to say
He say that even in my home son
I say what dad
I'm gonna let it shine
He say even in your home son
You've got to let you lovelight shine
Even in your home son
You've got to let it shine
Just let it shine
Just let it shine to show your love
And then I say daddy, help me
Sing this line one time
Amen (he help me)
Amen (with a feeling)
Amen, Amen, Amen
Everybody together now, Amen
A little louder now, Amen
Everybody say Amen, Amen, Amen
