[Verse 1]
Oh, by an' by, by an' by
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load
Oh, by an' by, by an' by
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load
[Verse 2]
I know my robe's goin' to fit me well
I tried it on at de gates ob Hell
Oh, by an' by
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load
[Verse 3]
Oh, some-a dese mornin's bright an' fair
Gwine to take-a my wings an' cleave de air
Oh, by an' by
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load
[Verse 4]
Oh preacher, can't you rise and tell
That Jesus has done all things well
Oh, by an' by
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load
