Lyrics
Paul and Silas bound in jail (all night long)
Paul and Silas bound in jail (all night long)
Paul and Silas bound in jail (all night long)
Saying who shall deliver for me
Paul and Silas prayed to God (all night long)
Paul and Silas prayed to God (all night long)
Paul and Silas prayed to God (all night long)
Saying who shall deliver for me
That old jailor locked the jail (all night long)
That old jailor locked the jail (all night long)
That old jailor locked the jail (all night long)
Saying who shall deliver for me
That old jail it reeled and rocked (all night long)
That old jail it reeled and rocked (all night long)
That old jail it reeled and rocked (all night long)
Saying who shall deliver for me
Hebrew children in the burning fire (all night long)
Hebrew children in the burning fire (all night long)
Hebrew children in the burning fire (all night long)
Saying who shall deliver for me
