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.
Why don't you sit down?
I can't sit down
Sit down I told you
I can't sit down
Go away don't bother me, I can't sit down
I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Who's that yonder dressed in white?
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Must be the children of the israelites
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Who's that yonder dressed in red?
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Must be the children that moses led
I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Why don't you sit down?
I can't sit down
Sit down I told you
I can't sit down
Go away don't bother me, I can't sit down
I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
Who's that yonder dressed in blue?
Must be my brother and he's coming through
Who's that yonder dressed in gold?
Must be a prophet from the days of old
Why don't you sit down?
I can't sit down
Sit down I told you
I can't sit down
Go away don't bother me, I can't sit down
I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven and I can't sit down
