Sleepy John Estes - Time Is Drawing Near lyrics

Now, it used to be the time, be gettin' two bucks a day But now we gettin' fifty cent, run 'em down for ['alf our] pay Time, time is drawring near Now, can't you see? More and more ev'y year Now, I 'member back in time, 'fore we got grown We daren't let sundown catch us away from home Time, time is drawring near Now, can't you see? More and more ev'y year Now, my mother used to say, "The sign will be." We couldn't tell summer from winter, no more by the budding of the trees Time, time is drawring near Now, can't you see? More and more ev'y year Now, it used to be the time, get a corn crop in March But now we can't get one in June, and neither July Time, time is drawring near Now, can't you see? More and more ev'y year Now, used to go to the church, just to work for soul But now we go, talk about one another's clothes Time, time is drawring near Now, can't you see? More and more ev'y year
