drinking ma beer l got to
thinking bout with all this talk
going on bout atom bombs and
all them other kinds of bombs,
the resuming of nuclear tests,
atomic fall-out, how more'n
more of Aine Haggars chii-
lun is going back to thinking
bout whats you gonna do
When the World is on Fire,
which is the title of a song
they sang during 'tracted meet
ings when l was a boy when
the sole purpose of the meet
ing and the preaching was to
git folks to confess and join
church. What caused me this
kind of thinking was a CONVEX
sation that | had with Brother
Julius Mitchell, the Parish ST.
Cafe man the other night, who
said that he's been doing a
lotta Bible reading here-latc
ly and that he's don just bout
reached the conclusion that this
old world is gonna be atomed-
out or burned up, and that his
calculations says that it amt
got but 80 more years to go
Being as is he kinda woke
me up on that subject, and
l axed him, Brother what is
you doing bout Citing ready.
His answer was that "I'm git
tin ready, and everybody better
start gittin, which answer |
took but judging from things
around US | figured he was jest
gittin ready to start gittin
ready, which proves that bef2
a man gets started going he's
got to make up his mind
One fellow who was settin and
listening as me and Brother
Mitchell talked after a while
ups and says that he Amt
worried bout muffin like dat
cause he Amt gonna be here F..
Like a whole lotta songs that
the old folks used to sing that
you don't hear nowadays, /
used to wonder what it was that
caused the Old Folks to invent
such song with words that
asked the question, What you
Coma Do When The World Is
On Fire., l guess back there l
couldn't figure where folks
could git enough flame started
to set the world on fire, but
aint lack that now with all the
bombs they already got and all
them others they planning on
gittin Before | got thru
wild my repast, thinking as ]
was, l reached the conclusion
that along wild Brother Mitchell
there's a whole lotta Aine Hag
CARS Chillun, and other folks
too, now thinkin bout, What
You Gonna Do When 7 e
World Is On Fire
