Rich Man’s Spiritual

[Verse 1]
Gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord, to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord, to get me home
And when I get my heavenly gown
And I lay my burden down
I'm gonna get me a long white robe to get me home

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord, to walk me home
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord, to walk me home
And when I get my slippers of gold
Then the Lord will have my soul
I'm gonna get me two golden slippers to get me home

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes Lord, to fly me home
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes Lord, to fly me home
And when I get my silvery wings
Then an angel choir will sing
I'm gonna get me two wings of silver to get me home

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes Lord, to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes Lord, to help me home
And when I get my trouble and woe
Then homeward I will go
I'm gonna get a little trouble and woe to get me home

[Verse 5]
I'm gonna find me a smiling angel
Yes Lord, to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel
Yes Lord, to lead me home
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home
