lyrics

As a boy they told him he would surely die.
He looked up to the heavens and not a tear was in his eye.
Laying on his death bed they all gathered round.
Cause there was no grave that could hold his body down.

Oh Brother Ely sang with praise.
He sang himself right into the grave.

He drove into town in an old black Cadillac.
Until he saves your soul he’s never going back.
He played his songs in the center of town.
And he praised the Lord and he drove their evils out.

Oh Brother Ely sang with praise.
He sang himself right into the grave.

They came to the chapel from the old Kentucky hills.
From working in the coal mines and the giant lumber mills.
He sang like an angel and the sweat poured from his brow.
Until he sang so hard that the Devil brought him down.
