An’ no good Christian did not fear,
’Cause Jesus Christ was engineer,
Engineer standin’ at chariot wheel
Backin’ up children on battle fiel’.
Reason why war did last so long,
So many people was livin’ wrong,
Jes’ goin’ round runnin’ down colors and race
An’ oughter been beggin’ fer little mo’ grace.
Whilst dey wus fightin’ great noise wus heard,
Smoke wus flyin’ jes’ lak a bird,
