1 Oh, I woke up dis mornin' wid mah min',
An' it was stayed, Stayed on Jesus,
Woke up dis mornin' wid mah min,'
An' it was stayed, Stayed on Jesus,
Woke up dis mornin' wid mah min',
An' it was stayed, Stayed on Jesus,

if you keep it stayed, Stayed on Jesus,
Can't hate your neighbor in your min',

Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah.
