157. On Ma Journey

Refrain:
On mah journey now, Mount Zion,
On mah journey now, Mount Zion.
Well I wouldn't take nothin', Mount Zion,
for mah journey now; Mount Zion.

1 One day, one day I was walking along,
Well, the elements opened an' de love come down, [Refrain]

2 I went to de valley an' I didn't go to stay,
Well, my soul got happy an' I stayed all day, [Refrain]

3 Just talk about me just as much as you please,
Well, I'll talk about you when I bend my knees, [Refrain]
