Soon ah will be don' a-wid de troubles ob de worl',

I goin to live wid God.
Soon ah will be don' a-wid de troubles ob de worl' (de worl')(T, B)

de troubles ob de worl' (de worl'. Oh,)
Soon ah will be don' a-wid de troubles ob de worl',
Goin' home to live wid God (T, B, A)
No more weepin' an' a wailin' (x3)
I'm goin' to live wid God.

I wan' to meet my Jesus (x3),
I'm goin' to live wid God. (S. In de mornin' Lord!)
