Oh, dere's somebody knockin' at de do'
Oh, dere's somebody knockin' at de do'
Oh, Mary! Oh, Martha!
Dere's somebody knockin' at de do'
I hear dem knockin' at de do'
What you say, Daddy Peter?
I hear dem knockin' at de do'
It mus' be Daddy Peter!
Dere ain't no knockin' at de do', Martha
It must be Daddy Peter, 'course!
Dere ain't no knockin' at de do'
Open de do' an' go an' show Peter dere ain't nobody dere
Open up yo'se'f
All right, I'll show you
Dere is somebody knockin' at de do'
Dere is somebody knockin' at de do'
Oh, Mary!
Dere ain't no use. If he's dead, it's somethin' goin' on
Oh, Martha!
Let's go an' open de do'!
Don't let him in!
You is a nice possum o' Christians
Sure to 'fraid out in a storm like dis
Who 'fraid is you?
I's yo' friend, sister
Oh, he's de woman I's lookin' for
Why ain't you come an' say 'hello' to yo' man?
You ain't my man!
It's sho' time I was comin' back for you, sweetness
You ain't done much for yo'self while I been gone
Hey! Dere ain't no whole ones left
You keep yo' mouth off Puggy!
Woman, do you want to meet yo' God?
Come here!
Puggy's got me now!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Well, for God's sake, does you call dat a man?
Well, don't you mind
I got a forgivin' nature
An' I'm goin' to take you back
Turn dat woman loose!
Keep yo' hands off me!
You best behave yo'se'f in dis storm
Don't you know God might strike you dead?
If God want to kill me
He have plenty options 'tween here an' Kitty Hawk
Me an' him havin' a bout all de way from Kitty Hawk
Firs' him on top, den me on top
Dere ain't nothin' he likes better
Dan a scrap with a man
God an' me is one
What's God laughin' at you?
All the Lord shakes de heavens
An' de war on de ground
Here! Cut dat out! Stop it!
I didn't come here all de way from Kitty Hawk
To sit up wid no corpses
Dem dat is in such a hurry to meet de judgement
All dey's got to do is kiss theirselves good-bye
An' step out dat door
Daddy Peter, he's yo' chance
De Jim Crow's leavin' an' you don't need no ticket
How 'bout you, old lady?
What? Dere ain't no travels?
Don't you hear God Almighty laughin' at you?
Dat's right, God laugh an' God laugh back
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Dat's right, light 'em up!
Go on sing
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
How 'bout dis one big prayer?
Oh, dere's somebody knockin' at de do'
Oh, Mary! Oh, Martha!
Dere's somebody knockin' at de do'
I hear dem knockin' at de do'
What you say, Daddy Peter?
I hear dem knockin' at de do'
It mus' be Daddy Peter!
Dere ain't no knockin' at de do', Martha
It must be Daddy Peter, 'course!
Dere ain't no knockin' at de do'
Open de do' an' go an' show Peter dere ain't nobody dere
Open up yo'se'f
All right, I'll show you
Dere is somebody knockin' at de do'
Dere is somebody knockin' at de do'
