A Song “ballot” a warning to the wicked

“wrote” by J. Cole this the 21st

   of Jan. – 1877 (original spelling)



1.

Young people who delight in sin

I’ll tell you what has lately bin

A lady who was young & fair

She died in sin and sad despair

2.She would go to frolick dance and play

In spite of all her friends could say,

I’ll turn to God when I am auld

And he will then rescue my soul.

3.One Friday she was taken ill

Her stubborn heart began to yealed

Crying I loss, my days are spent

Two late my God now to repent

4.  She called her mother to her bead

Her eyes war roling in her head

When I am dead remember well

Your wicked daughter screams

in hell.

5.My earthly father fare you well

   My soul is lost & doomed to hell

   The flaming wrath begins to roll

   I am a lost & ruined soul.

6.She naughed her tongue before she died

   She rung her hands & screamed & cried

   Saying must I burn forever more

   Until thousand thousands years are over
