Shadrack - Kay Starr

Written by：Traditional

Now there was three children from the land of israel

Shadrack meshach abednego

Took a little trip to the land of babylon

Shadrack meshach abednego

Nebudchanezzer was the king of babylon

Shadrack meshach abednego

Took a lot of gold and they made him an idol

Shadrack meshach abednego

And he told everybody when you hear the music of the trombon

And he told everybody when you hear the music of the clarinet

And he told everybody when you hear the music of the lord

He said you got fall down and worship the idol

Shadrack meshach abednego

But the children of israel would not bow down

Shadrack meshach abednego

You couldn't fool them with a golden idol

Shadrack meshach abednego

I said you couldn't fool them with a golden idol

Shadrack meshach abednego

So the king put the children in the fiery furnace

Shadrack meshach abednego

Great god he heaped on coals and red hot brimstone

Shadrack meshach abednego

Yes he made it seven times hotter hotter than it ought to be

Shadrack meshach abednego

The good book says he even burned up the soldiers

That the king had put there

Shadrack meshach abednego

Shadrack meshach abednego

But the lord got sent him an angel

And he give him a couple of ways

But he came on down in the middle of the furnace

Began to cool the flames

And those children they got so happy

They went strutting right through that fire

I just left them talking bout the power of gospel

Shadrack meshach abednego

Oh shadrack meshach abednego

Well old nebudchanezzer said hey there

When he saw the power of the lord

And they had a regal time in the land of babylon

Shadrack meshach abednego

Oh shadrack meshach abednego
