Lyrics:
Chorus: Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Oh, Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. There was a time early in life When he gambled to gain And he carried a knife And he was winnin' that very night. He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good; He swore he'd lick 'em, Yes, he swore he could, And he dared him to come to Him if he would. Yeah! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. It was early in the mornin' when he got to bed To rest his weary gamblin' head When he heard the angry words his pappy said: "Lijiah go and fetch some wood!" He heard his words and up he stood. Even though it hurt, he knew he should. Yeah! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Still cookin'! Oh Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. Outside he heard the rattle of chains And he ran from someone He thought insane As he heard the devil Callin' out his name. The devil grabbed his suspenders well, And he trembled As he felt the hand from hell, And he let out with a hairy yell. He jumped in bed with his Maw and Paw. And he told 'em that the devil was in Arkansas, And he told 'em he'd quit gamblin' or break the law. Yeah! Oh, Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah, He's still alive. Still cookin'! Oh, Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five. Yeah! Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah He's still alive. Still cookin', yeah! Oh Uncle Li--jiah, Uncle Lijiah, A hundred and five.
