Amazing Sound


Amazing grace how sweet the sound
What was that sound?
Could it be another ship from distance shore
Was that the sound of a sails pop from trade winds grip
Or the crack from masters damn cursed whip.
Amazing sound.
Bessy, I'd love to stay chat,
But I must go finish the wash be foe Miss.Smiff gets back.
Come on now Junior get the rest dat wood in
Foe papaw comes home, and you get a whupping again.
Amazing sound.
Oh, babe listen to her whimper , listen to her sigh
Wonder what they're thinking when you can't stop their cry
No momma don't feed him that, it's not good for his teeth
Yeah, your son runs fast, throws long
But I prefer my son knows how to read and how well he speaks.
Amazing sound.
To hear them tell stories from days gone by
She stares into space then she starts to cry
Then she said, kids I remember hearing my daddy sing,
Amazing grace how sweet the sound.
