The Jubalaires — Handwriting on the Wall

Well, there's a hand writing on the wall Hand writing right on the wall There's a hand writing on the wall Oh, Lord, right on the wall Well, there's a hand writing on the wall Hand writing right on the wall There's a hand writing on the wall Oh, Lord, right on the wall Well, if you read in the Bible and read it well You know the story I'm goin' to tell Belshazzar was sittin' at the banquet board Drinkin' from the vessels of Israel's God They tell me that his eyes were red with wine Whеn God come jumpin' on the wheels of time Hе come on down in the banquet hall Set his handwritin' on the wall Belshazzar looked up from the banquet board Beheld the hand of Israel's God "Go get Daniel!" I heard him yell "Tell him to read the writing and read it well I'll make him ruler in all the land If he'll just read the writing that's written by the hand." Well, there's a hand writin' on the wall Hand writin' right on the wall There's a hand writin' on the wall Oh, Lord, right on the wall Oh, Daniel come jumpin' through the power of God Began to read what was written on the wall He said Mene, Tekel, Upharsin Look, Belshazzar, your days are done Of your wicked ways, God's done got tired You got to go to judgment and stand your trial You got to go to judgment and stand at the bar For drinking from the vessels of Israel's God There's a hand writin' on the wall (on the wall) Well, there's a hand and that's writing on the wall On the wall Well, somebody read it, see what does it say Oh, there's a hand that's writing on the wall On the wall
