Lyrics
[Verse]
I prayed he'd be my sword and shield, raise me high upon the victory mount.
I prayed he'd be my sword and shield, raise me high upon the victory mount.
But his voice thundered with a roar — I've never seen nobody win no war.
But I prayed he'd be my sword and shield, raise me high upon the victory mount.
[Chorus]
I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
But the Lord, he said, "Now listen, son — we only get paid for the work we done done."
But I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
[Verse]
I prayed he'd drive the devil back from my house and from my home.
I prayed he'd drive the devil back from my house and from my home.
"Well, I can batten down the hatches like I done before, but he'll get right back in if you open the door."
But I prayed he'd drive the devil back, from my house and from my home.
[Chorus]
I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
But the Lord, he said, "Now listen, son — we only get paid for the work we done done."
But I prayed that I'd have gold, gold enough to give away.
