You'd better Min'

Representative Text

1 You'd better mind how you talk,
you'd better mind what you talkin' about,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.
You'd better mind, you'd better mind,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.

2 You'd better mind how you sing,
you'd better mind what you singin' about,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.
You'd better mind, you'd better mind,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.

3 You'd better mind how you shout,
you'd better mind what you shoutin' about,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.
You'd better mind, you'd better mind,
You got to give account in the Judgment,
you'd better mind.
