Lyrics
I’m recalling times when I was small
In light and free jubilee days
Old folks prayin’, everybody swayin’
Loudly, I chanted my praise
How I sang about the Judgement morn
And of Gabriel tootin’ on his horn
In that sunny land of milk and honey
I had no complaints while I thought of Saints
So I say to all who feel forlorn
Refrain
Sing “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”
And you’ll shoo the blues away
When cares pursue ya, “Hallelujah!”
Gets you through the darkest day
Satan lies awaitin’ and creatin’ skies of grey
But “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”
Helps to shoo the clouds away
