| lyric | Oh, Lord, Oh, my Lord! Oh, my good Lord!
Keep me from sinking down.
1. I tell you what I mean to do;
Keep me from sinking down;
I mean to go to heaven too;
Keep me from sinking down;
2. I look up yonder, and what do I see;
Keep me from sinking down;
see the angel beckoning to me;
Keep me from sinking down;
3. When Iwas a mourner just like you;
Keep me from Sinking down:
I mourned and mourned till Igot through;
Keep me from sinking down.
Oh, Lord, etc.
4. I bless the Lord I’m g'wine to die;
Keep me from sinking down:
I’m gwine to judgement by- and-by;
Keep me from Sinking down.
Oh, Lord, etc. |
