By And By When The Morning Comes

[Intro]
Now we going to sing "By And By When The Mornin' Come"
And what this is—we in the same boat, brother
We live together and we sing together
And that's a way to keep peace
Now we going to sing "By And By," so you come right with me
I'm going to sing the chorus first

[Chorus: Leadbelly with crowd]
Oh, by and by when the mornin' comes
All the saints of God is gatherin' home
We will tell this story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better by and by

Now come with me, sing loud
By and by when the mornin' comes (sing it)
All the saints of God is gatherin' home (sing loud)
We will tell this story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better by and by

Sing it again
By and by when the mornin' comes
All the saints of God is gatherin' home
We will tell the story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better by and by

Sing it a last time
Yes it's by and by when the mornin' comes
All the saints of God is gatherin' home
We will tell the story, how we'll overcome
We will understand it better by and by
