Caze I’se seen a light in de sky!

Oh good-bye to de ol’ plantation,

De mawnin’ am growin’ gray!—

Oh good-bye, an’ stop yo’ weepin’,—

De mawnin’ am breakin’ Day!

Oh yes! in de heaben dat’s comin’

I’ll meet you by-an’-by!—

Hoh yes! in de happy mawnin’,

Caze you’ll see de Light in de sky!

Chorus.
