Traditional; Arrangement by Carl Haywood
Daniel! Daniel! Daniel!
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
An' why not-a every man.
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
An' why not-a every man.
He delivered Daniel f'om the lion's den,
and Jonah f'om the belly of the whale,
An' de Hebrew chillun f'om the fiery furnace,
An' why not-a every man.
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
An' why not-a every man.
De win' blows eas' an' de win' blows wes',
It blows like de judgement day,
An' ev'ry po' soul dat never did pray
will be glad to pray dat day.
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
An' why not-a every man.
I set my foot on de Gospel ship,
an' de ship begin to sail,
It landed me over on Canaan's shore,
An' I'll never come back no mo!
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel,
An' why not-a every man.
