HOLD ON (KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE PLOW)

Noah, Noah let me come in
Door's all locked and window pinned
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus name
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water could fire next time
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

United nations make a change
Every link is freedoms name
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Freedom’s name is mighty sweet
Black and white are gonna meet
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Many good men have fought and died
So we could be here side by side
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Freedom’s name is mighty sweet
Black and white are gonna meet
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

Keep your hand on the gospel plow
I wouldn't take nothing for the journey now
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on

(one more time)
Hold on, hold on, keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
HOLD ON

Noah, Noah let me come in.
Doors all fastened and the windows pinned.
Keep your hand on that plow. Hold on.

Noah said: "You done lost your track. Can't plow straight and keep a-lookin back".
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

[Refrain]
Hold on.
(Hold on.)
Hold on.
(Hold on.)
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

Hold on.
(Hold on.)
Ho-o-o-old on.
(Hold on.)
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

Mary had a golden chain, every link spelt with Jesus name.
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

All that chain had never been tied, every round goes higher and higher.
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

[Refrain]

woo woo

If you wanna get to Heaven, now I'll tell you how.
Keep your hand on the Gospel plow.
Keep your hand on that plow. Just hold on.
All that chain had never tied. Every round goes higher and higher.
Keep your hand on that plow and hold on.

[Refrain]
Hold on.
(Hold on.)
Hold on.
(Hold on.)
Keep your hand on that plow . Just hold on.

Hold on.
(Hold On.)
Ho-o-o-old on.
(Hold on.)
Keep your hand on that plow.
Keep your hand on that plow.
Keep your hand on that plow.
And hold on.
