    The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do,
    I said, "You get somebody else--or wait till I get through."
    I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along:
    But I felt kinda sneakin' like, 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong.
    One day I needed the Lord--Needed Him myself--needed Him right
    away,
    And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say
    Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do,
    You get somebody else or wait till I get through."
