Lyrics
Well, we done told you, our God's done warned you
Jesus coming soon
We done told you, our God's done warned you
Jesus coming soon
In the year of 19 and 18, God sent a mighty disease
It killed many a-thousand, on land and on the seas
Great disease was mighty and the people were sick everywhere
It was an epidemic, it floated through the air
The doctors they got troubled and they didn't know what to do
They gathered themselves together, they called it the Spanishin flu
Soldiers died on the battlefield, died in the counts too
Captain said to the lieutenant, "I don't know what to do"
Well, God is warning the nation, He's a-warning them every way
To turn away from evil and seek the Lord and pray
Well, the nobles said to the people, "You better close your public schools"
"Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too"
We done told you, our God's done warned you
Jesus coming soon
We done told
Writer(s): Blind Willie Johnson
