Píseň: Were You There

Interpret:: Sam Cooke
Album:: The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke

them was going to Jerusalem
 he met two strangers along the way
 They were talking all about the crucifiction
 They stopped and here's what he said, he asked them
 Were you there when the crucified the Lord? (were you there?)
 Were you there when the crucified the Lord?
 He asked them were you there when the crucified the Lord?
 And one of them told him
 no, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
 He said I was there. I was there when they crucified the Lord


 A fellow said: I want you to tell me if you were there?
 tell me did they really pierce him in the side that morn, O Lord
 He said, if you were there
 I wonder did they pierce the savior in the side


 Sometimes it causes me to tremble
 everytime I think about how they did the Lord
 it makes me tremble
 'cause I was there,
 and they really pierced him in the side that morning


 A fellow said: I want you to tell me if you were there?
 if you were there kindly tell me
 did he hang there and never say one word
 Sometimes I have to tremble
 everytime I think about how they done the Lord it makes me tremble
 Cause I was there when they crucified the Lord
