[Chorus]
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
[Verse 1]
Happiest people in the United States
Is people who talk about the heavenly gates
They don't want riches and they don’t want fame
And they're happy just the same (Happy just the same)
I'se tell you folkses, ’tis no disgrace
To have this religion like the colored race
Y'all can hear when they begin
'Cause they're singing [?]
[Chorus]
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
[Verse 2]
We ain't much money in deposit banks
We can't eat mutton, mutton could be six flanks
We can't go [travelin'?] in the President’s [name/lane]
But we’re happy just the same (Happy just the same)
'Cause there’s a mansion in the heavens above
There'll be no selection in the Master's love
And there you'll hear it when He begins
’Cause they're singing [?]
[Chorus]
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
[Interlude]
Mr. Johnson, take up collection. If Ms. Woods is in the church, don't want her to put two cents in that collection and take out a dollar like you did last Sunday, none of that stuff. My pronouncement for the week, I want to announce, next Tuesday on the east end (Tuesday on the east end), there'll be a meeting for the sinners (A meeting for the sinners). Next Wednesday on the west end (Wednesday on the west end), there'll be a [?] meeting festival (A [?] meeting festival). Now don't forget that (We ain't). Meeting for the sinners next Tuesday on the east end, [?] meeting festival next Wednesday on the west end, and on Thursday, I'll baptize on both ends!
[Chorus]
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
What a time, what a time
What a time talking with the angels, what a time
What A Time Talking With The Angels was written by Horace George.
