The other day I mentioned that I wanted to write a song called the Time of Trouble Shuffle, based on the fears I had when I was a SDA kid growing up. So here is my first whack at it. Before you read the words, go to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lza3NVH6Ig
and listen to the Hank Williams song “Move It On Over” I kind of based the tune to it.



Time of Trouble Shuffle

There came a knock about half-past twelve,
Knew what it was, and headed for the hills,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law,

Gave up my eatin’ meat, kept the Sabbath too,
Don’t want to get beat, for the good I do,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law

‘Cause a time is a’ coming, When Sunday Keepers rule,
You’ll want to be a’ running, If you are to stay true,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law,

I’m checking my map, looking for a way,
To carry my pack, one of these days,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law,

Time is a creepin’, just a while from now,
When the Sunday keepers, gonna hunt you down,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law,

A time will come, when God withdraws,
His protection, to see if we kept His laws,

The Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said The Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Better flee for the hills, there’s a national Sunday Law,

I’m so very glad, this is all a lie,
Jesus won’t leave me, even after I die,

No Time of Trouble Shuffle, I said No Time of Trouble Shuffle,
Thank God for grace, and no more heavy laws!

Hey Bob,
We had a good laugh at your great song, and it fits the good 'ol Hank Williams tune pretty well. Glad you're on the Forum!

Rivers version of the time a trouble shuffle

Now the time of trouble shuffle is in my blood
We make things look bad even they’er good

We teach when we die our soul does sleep
We teach whats an impossibility to keep

Oh..the tima trouble shuffle..
I say the time a trouble shuffle

We teach that Jesus is investagatin’
And if we ain’t perfect we’ll meet old Satan..

We teach that old three angels message
Till hell freezes over, we’ll keep on guessin’

The time a trouble shuffle
I say the time a trouble shuffle

Now we ain’t like them old Sunday keepers
Who look at us en go jeeper creepers

We’ll al go down a proof proof textin’
And you better not ask no gol dern questions

The time a trouble shuffle
I said the time a trouble shuffle

We like goin’ round with our long face
We look like we ain’t got no grace

And if you ever go down to our church
We gonna leave you in the lurch

The time a trouble shuffle
I say the time a trouble….shuffeeeeeele..
