Bye and Bye (Gonna See the King)

[Intro]
One, two
A-one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
When the cold bites at your fingers
And the damp comes through your shoes
And you're far too proud to shout out loud
'Sides your lips too cracked and blue
Take cold comfort in the knowledge
That you did what you had to do
Nobody to blame but you

[Chorus]
You say, "Thank you, Lord, for giving me this day"
You say, "Sorry, my friend, I'll live myself this day"
If I lie down peaceful, would you spirit me away?
Only you can give it to me
Only you can make me pay

[Verse 2]
When the sun beats on your red neck
And your back feels on to break
When you work from dawn to darkness
Longly I'd make the summer hay
Take comfort in the know-how
That it has to be this way
There's no point of looking forward
You have your breath this day

[Chorus]
You say, "Thank you, Lord, for what I have to do"
You say, "Sorry, sir, for thinking without you"
If I lie down peaceful, would you do what you can do?
Only you can give it to me
And you got my eye, oh you

[Hook]
And I say, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
I say, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
Ain't no use, being afraid
I'm a child of God
Bye and bye

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When the sun beats on your red neck
And your back feels on to break
When you work from dawn to darkness
Longly I'd make the summer hay (No)
Take comfort in the know-how
That it has to be this way
No one-
Stop looking for what you have not got
You have your breath this day

[Chorus]
You say, "Thank you, Lord for what I have to do"
You say, "Sorry, sir, for thinking without you"
If I lie down peaceful, would you see what you can do?
Only you can take it to me
Only you can take it too

[Hook]
I say, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
You say, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
Ain't no use in being afraid
'Cause I'm a child of God

Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king
You say, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
Ain't no use in being afraid
'Cause I'm a child of God

Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king
I said, "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the king"
Ain't no use in being afraid
'Cause I'm a child of God
