| lyric | Oh, by an' by, I'm gonna lay down dis heavy load.
1. I know my robe’s goin’ to fit me well
I’m goin’ to lay down dis heavy load;
I tried it on at de gates of hell
I’m goin’ to lay down dis heavy load.
2. Oh, one of dese mornin’s bright an fair
I’m goin’ to lay down dis heavy load;
Gwin to take my wings an’ cleave de air,
I’m goin’ to lay down dis heavy load. |
