Ain't got time (ain't got time) to stop and tarry (to stop and tarry)
Ain't got time (ain't got time) to stop and tarry (to stop and tarry)
Ain't got time to stop and tarry got a message I must carry
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

He said to preach (I've been a-preachin') He said to pray (and I've been prayin')
He said for me to keep preachin' and prayin' night and day
When the roll is called up yonder I want to be found in that number
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

He told me (He told me) to preach the gospel (preach that gospel)
He told me (He told me) to preach the gospel (preach that gospel)
He told me to preach the gospel like he did the old apostles
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

When I leave (when I leave) this troubled land (this troubled land)
When I leave (when I leave) this troubled land (this troubled land)
When I leave this troubled land I'm gonna shake my saviour's hand
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world
