Refrain:
Sit down, servant, Sit down!
Sit down, servant, Sit down!
Sit down, servant, Sit down!
Sit down an' rest a little while.

1 Know you mighty tired, so sit down,
Know you mighty tired, so sit down,
Know you mighty tired, so sit down! [Refrain]

2 Know you shoutin' happy, so sit down,
Know you shoutin' happy, so sit down,
Know you shoutin' happy, so sit down! [Refrain]
