Original text and translations
English text
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?
He delivered Daniel from the lion’s den,
Jonah from the belly of the whale,
The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace.
So why not-a every man?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?
The wind blows east and the wind blows west,
It blows like the judgment day.
And every man that never did pray
Is glad to pray that day.
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel?
So why not-a every man?
