A spiritual Alec used to sing while pulling seine net
Been a’listening all the night long,
Been a’listening all the day.
Been a’listening all the night long
To hear one sinner pray.
My father was true converted
I do not doubt it at all
But through so many hard trials
He was apt to have a fall.
Been a’listening all the night long.
Been a’listening all the day.
Been a’listening all the night long
To hear one sinner pray.
