a bushel for a meal

And now to conclude
and to finish my song
I've sung you the truth
and I know I ain't wrong

And if you ain't ready,
Em
when the good Lord does call,
C
G
The Lord will depart
Am
and the devil take all in its hard times
Em
Am
And if you ain't ready,
Em
when the good Lord does call,
C
G
The Lord will depart,
Am
and the devil take all in its hard times.
