You got me singing 
Even tho’ the news is bad 
You got me singing 
The only song I ever had

You got me singing
Ever since the river died 
You got me thinking 
Of the places we could hide

You got me singing
Even though the world is gone 
You got me thinking
I’d like to carry on

You got me singing 
Even tho’ it all looks grim 
You got me singing 
The Hallelujah hymn

You got me singing
Like a prisoner in a jail
You got me singing 
Like my pardon’s in the mail

You got me wishing 
Our little love would last 
You got me thinking
Like those people of the past
You got me singing
Even though the world is gone 
You got me thinking
I’d like to carry on

You got me singing
Even though it all went wrong
You got me singing
The Hallelujah song
