(E)Ol' Sam worked (A)hard all his life on the
(E)Big ol' cotton plan(A)tation

(E)Sam's life had (A)never been easy
He (E)knew what sadness and (A)sorrow were
But his (E)love for Jesus (A)never changed
And he (D)did his best(B)
To tell others a(E)bout the Lord(A).

(E)-(A)-(E)
Ol' Sam said, "I'll have to (A)think a while
Be(E)fore I can answer (A)that one."
But there (E)must be a reason (A)why ol' Sam
Had (D)so many troubles(B)
And Master Jackson (E)had the fun (A)-(E)

I (E)think I've got the answer to your question, boss
You (A)see, I'm a (E)live one
The (E)Devil's afraid I'm gonna get away
So he (B)tries to bag me first
But (A)boss, you're a (E)dead one
The (C#m)devil's already got (A)you
And (E)he's not a bit worried
About (B)what you're gonna (E)do
I (E)think I've got the answer to your question, boss
You (A)see, I'm a (E)live one
The (E)Devil's afraid I'm gonna get away
So he (B)tries to bag me first
(A)He wants me to stop (E)serving the Lord
So he (C#m)gives me more trouble than (A)you
'Cause (E)he's worried I'm gonna get away
And he's a(B)fraid what I might (E)do.

(E)Children, if you're gonna serve the Lord
(A)Be a live one (E)too
You (E)gotta be ready for troubles and trials
The (B)Devil's gonna throw at you
So (A)keep on fighting the (E)fight of faith
(C#m)Doin' the best you (A)can
(E)Then you'll be a live one too
(B)Just like dear ol' (E)Sam.

[Repeat last verse]
