VERSE 1

Who didn't waste his time away
He prayed to God, every morning, noon an' night
Cared not for th thing decade
But trust in Him who never fail
Ole Daniel prayed every morning, noon an' night

Cared not for th thing decade

VERSE 3
They cast him in th lion den
Because he would not honor them
He prayed to God every morning, noon an' night
Th jaws was locked, made 'im shout
Trusted God to take 'im out
Ole Daniel prayed every morning, noon an' night
