But Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Helps to shoo the clouds away
I had no complaints while I thought of saints
Satan lies a-waitin'
Satan lies a-waitin'
Cares pursue ya, Hallelujah!
And creatin' skies of gray
So I say to all who fearful are
Gotta be clean without a speck
They'll give 'ya the boot if 'ya don't salute
Shine your shoes and square your hat
Gets you through the darkest day
Tonight the admiral's comin' to check
Here this! Here that!
And creatin' skies of gray
Light and free Jubilee days
And creatin' skies of gray
Put out your chest and straighten your neck
When cares pursue ya, Hallelujah!
But Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Gets you through the darkest day
Helps to shoo the clouds away
In that sunny land of milk and honey
I recall in Times when I was small in
And you'll shoo the blues away
But Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah
Up at dawn and hit the deck
Sing Hallelujah Hallelujah!
Hup one two!
Satan lies a-waitin'
Helps to shoo the clouds away
