Refrain:
O bye and bye, bye and bye,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load.
O bye and bye, bye and bye,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load.
1 I know my robe’s goin' fit me well.
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load.
I tried it on at the gates of hell.
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load. [Refrain]
2 Hell is deep and dark despair,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load;
Stop, po’ sinner, and don’t go there,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load. [Refrain]
3 O Christians, can’t you rise and tell,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load.
That Jesus hath done all things well,
I’m goin' to lay down dis heavy load. [Refrain]
