Mahalia Jackson - I'm Going To Live The Life I Sing About In My Song lyrics

I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song I'm gonna stand for right and I always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd, If I'm alone On the streets or in my home I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song Everyday, everywhere On a busy thoroughfare Folks may watch me; some may spot me Say I'm foolish But I don't care I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday I've got to live the life I sing about in my song Not for gold or for fame But for the love of Jesus name I must always walk the straight and narrow way Yes narrow way Yeah Jesus promise me one of these days He's gonna give me a crown of light I've got to live the life, I sing about in my song
