Now wait till I gits my gospel shoes,
Gonna walk about heaven an’ spread the news.
Dere’s a long white robe in de heaven for me.
No more hard trials in de kingdom.
Gonna feast off milk an’ honey.
Now he sings:
I wants to go to heaven, set in de angel’s seat;
I wants to go to heaven, eat what de angels eat.
I’s gonna be in my home in heaven
When I lay my burden down.
