What's the rest of this song?

Heard back in the '50s:

I heard about a man one day
Who wasted not his time away;
He prayed to God
Every morning, noon, and night.
_________________________
_____________________________;
He prayed to God
Every morning, noon, and night.

 

Also heard in the '50s:

Little David, play on your harp,
Hallelu, Hallelu!
Little Ddavid, play on your harp,
Hallelu!
(repeat)

Oh, David was a shepherd boy,
He killed Goliath, and he shouted for joy
. . . .

 

'50s again:

Have faith, hope, and charity,
And the blessed Lord
You'll surely please;
How do I know?
The Bible tells me so-o-o.
Do good to your enemies
___________________________
How do I know?
The Bible tells me so-o-o.

Don't worry 'bout tomorrow,
Just be real good today;
. . ,

 

Thank you all so much, Scarlett, GrannyGumbo,
and Alliswell! I'm starting to sing around the
house, since I no longer sing in churches, and
these are some of the songs I could not remem-
ber the words for. It was driving me NUTS!

Some of the songs from this era were really
nice, a real musical heritage, and I want my
grandchildren to hear them--especially the
religious songs, but even some of the other
songs from this era were good.

I remember hearing these on the radio, along
with the "secular" songs. Remember that,
GrannyGumbo? They would play songs like
"Alley Oop" followed by "He," then "The Autumn
Leaves," "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," then
"Don't Send Those Kids to Sunday School."

Remember "He" and "Don't Send Those Kids to
Sunday School?" I don't have the words for He,
but it was beautiful. It needs to be sung publicly
again. It needs to be rerecorded by someone
with a great voice or brought back out of the
archives in its original form.

I remember some of "Don't Send Those Kids . . ."

Some boys are good boys,
Some boys are not;
You can tell by every boy
What kind of dad he's got!

Don't send those kids to Sunday school;
Get out of bed and take 'em!
You wouldn't wanna go by yourself,
Don't let them feel forsaken!
Don't send those kids to Sunday school,
Ggo right along with the golden rule,
Do everything that a dad should do,
Get out of bed and take them!

Does anyone know the rest?

Then they would play, "It Is No Secret." I love
that song and recently bought an Elvis CD just to
have that song around the house.

That was an era when much of such music was
acceptable on popular radio stations, due mainly
to Dale and Roger Evans, Elvis Presley, and
Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Speaking of T.E. Ford, he did "Sixteen Tons."
Well, that is a fun song to sing, and I really did
want my grandchildren to have that song, but
I did not care for some of the words, which a
child would certainly not understand as the
writer intended, so I changed them. Now, every-
time the older ones get in my car, they say, "Sing
that sixteen tons song." Here is how we know
that part of it:

"Ya' dig sixteen tons, and what do ya' get?
Another day older and deeper in debt!
So don't ya' dare calll me, cause I can't go:
I owe my money to the company store!"

T.E. Ford also sang a song called "This Old
House." I am sure a search will find those words,
but it was a good song.

I had No Idea! Ii don't know any of the people
you mentioned, but I could probably order these
at my local CD store. Thank you, Smoke Eater!

 

Thank you, AllisWell! Unfortunately, I cannot hear
the music on my present system, but I hope to
switch over soon. I saved it.

 

I was guilty with nothing to ____ (say?)
And they were coming to take me away
But a voice from Heaven was heard that said,
"Let her go! Take me instead!"

But I should have been crucified
I should have suffered, bled, and died
I should have hung on that cross in disgrace,
But Jesus, God's Son, took my place.
