Delmus Jackson

Delmus Jackson was a black man
 Delmus Jackson was a custodian
 He cleaned the church house
 Five days a week
 Delmus Jackson talked to me
 He'd say
 I'm working for the Lord
 Gonna see his face
 For my reward
 And on that day he will say
 Well-done Delmus Jackson
 Delmus Jackson had nine children
 Delmus Jackson had great wisdom
 Do unto others as if they was you
 Delmus Jackson spoke the truth
 He'd say Jesus
 Loves all his children
 And he will welcome everyone
 And on that day he will say
 Well-done Delmus Jackson
 Delmus Jackson bought me Cokes
 Delmus Jackson told me jokes
 He drank his coffee
 From a thermos
 Delmus Jackson made no fuss
 He'd say my bags are packed
 And I'm ready to go
 To meet the Lord
 On streets of gold
 And on that day he will say
 Well-done Delmus Jackson
