the jackson southernaires - too late lyrics

i’ve got something i would like to tell you
those of you who don’t have no god on your side
if i were you this evening, i wouldn’t wait too long
i’d bow down on my knees and say, “for god i live
“and for god, i’m willing to die.”

you not feel like you need him now
but after awhile, when it’s all over
somebody calling and you
won’t be able to no longer answer
please listen to me and take this advice

you may not
you may not be able to see your mistakes now
but look back over your life
listen to the song that we are singing
and the words that tell you this, right here

don’t let it be till too late
you may be doing fine now
may have fine clothes to wear
ridin’ around in fine automobiles
but sooner or later, death gon’ creep in your room
just like it have many a times

there are those today, don’t ever think about
how good the lord has been to them
but please listen to me right now
i have a story i wanna tell you right now
of a young man who left home a long time ago
and there he left a mother and father there
went away and started having what he called a good time
drinking and gambling all day and all night long
forgot all about his poor mother and father
but oh, one day when he came in wearing his fine clothes
one day when he came in riding in his fine automobile
when he walked in, he found the telegram
sticking under his door
saying, “if you wanna see her alive one more time
you’d better get in a hurry”
he thought about things he could’ve done, he hadn’t done
thought about the times, oh he could have called home
on the telephone but he failed to do so

the first thing he did was fell down on his knees
and said, “oh lord, don’t let me be too late”
and as he rode down the highway
i could hear him right now in my mind saying:
“lord, i know i’ve done wrong
i should have called once in a while”

but when he finally came home
his little sister came out
and threw her arms around his neck
had tears in her eyes
she told him these words right here:

“too late, she’s gone”
“too late, you’re too late”

she said she waited on a long time
she told him mother waited
oh, she waited with tears in her eyes sometime
she waited with sorrow in heart sometime
but you waited a little too long
his sister told him the same words again, she said:
“too late, she’s gone”
“too late, you’re too late”

the tears rolled down his eyes
sorrow was all in his heart
but every time he looked his sister in the eye
she was the same thing she’s saying:

“too late, too late”
oh, oh, you waited too long, you waited too long
too late, too late
don’t let it be said too late
