Lyrics
Sit Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh sit down, please sit down
Why won't you sit down, oh I can't sit down
Why won't you sit down, oh I can't sit down
Why won't you sit down, oh I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven and I will look around
Who's that yonder dressed in white
Looks like the children of the Israelites
Yes, yes, yes my Lord
Who's that yonder dressed in blue
A well it looks like my brother he's a coming thru
Who's that yonder dressed in black
That's my preacher and that hypocrite's a turning back
