Classic Poem

O bye and bye, bye and bye,
I'm goin' to lay down dis heavy load.

I know my robe's goin' to 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.

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.

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.
