Oh, the Heavens Shut the Gates on Me

From K. P. Lewis, Durham, c. 191 5, as set down from dictation of Dr.
Kemp P. Battle, Chapel Hill, in November 1910.

Oh, the heavens shut the gates on me,
Oh, the due time, shut the gates on me.
Sometimes I weep, sometimes I mourn,
Sometimes I do nary one.
Oh, the heavens shut the gates on me,
Oh, the due time, shut the gates on me.
