"Hold On" lyrics - ODETTA

Paul and Silas locked in jail,
Didn't have no one to go their bail.
Keep your hand on the plow, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Keep your hand on the plow, well, hold on.

Mary weeped and Martha moaned,
Gabriel stood up and blowed his horn.
Ya keep your hand on the plow, well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Keep your hand on the plow, well, hold on.

If I could only stand on the rock,
If I could only stand on the rock,
I'd keep my hand on the plow, well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Keep your hand on the plow, well, hold on.

Paul and Silas locked in jail,
They didn't have no one to go their bail.
Ya keep your hand on the plow, well hold on, hold on, hold on.
Keep your hand on the plow and hold on.
Keep your hand on the plow and hold on.
