Old Account Was Settled Long Ago — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

There was a time on Earth when in the books of Heaven
That an Old Account was standin` for sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top there was many things below
But I went unto the keeper and I settled it long ago

Long ago,yes long ago I said the Old Account was settled long ago
And my record`s clear today `cause he washed my sins away
And the Old Account was settled long ago

Well the Old Account was large and growin` everyday
I was always sinnin` and I never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
Well I thoguht I`d better get it settled, so I settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
And my record`s clear today `cause he washed my sins away
And The Old Account was settled long ago

Now sinner seek the Lord, and repent of all your sins
`Cause this He commanded if you should enter in
And then if you should live a hundred years below
Well you know you got it settled `cause you settled it long ago

Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
And my record`s clear today `cause he washed my sins away
And The Old Account was settled long ago
