"Negro fragment." From Julian P. Boyd, as collected from Rosebud
West, a pupil of the school at Alliance, Pamlico county ; undated, but

1 Judgment day is comin',
Time is drawin' near.

Don't you hear God callin' you ?

Judgment day is comin'.

For the time is drawin' near.

He is callin' you by the thunder.

For the time is drawin' near.

Oh, yes. he is callin' you by the lightnin',

For the time is drawin' near.

Judgment day is comin'.

Oh, yes. judgment day is comin' !

2 I am goin' away to leave you.
Oh. Lord, time is drawin' near ;
Judgment day is comin'.

When 1 was a sinner just like you,

I fasted and prayed till it come true !

Oh, Lord, judgment day is comin',

For the time is drawin' near.

Oh, sinner, don't you want to go to heaven ?

Time is drawin' near !

Oh, yes. judgment day is coming.

Oh, yes, judgment day is coming.
