Ma Lord ain't no stuck up man.
Ma Lord, he ain't proud.
When he goes a walkin'
He gives me his hand.
You ma friend, he 'lowed.
Ma Lord knows what it is to work.
He knows how to pray.
Ma Lord's life was trouble, too, / Trouble ever day.
Ma Lord ain't no stuck up man.
He's a friend o' mine.
When he went to heaben, / His soul like fire, / He tole me I was gwine.
He said, Sho you'll come wid me / An' be ma friend through eternity.
