Negro workaday songs

by Howard Washington Odum; Guy Benton Johnson

I’m a-goin’ to sit down side o’ my Jesus,

I’m a-goin’ to sit down side o’ my Jesus some o’ these days.

I’m a-goin’ to tell him how I love him,

I’m a-goin’ to tell him how I love him, hal-lu-yah!

I’m a-goin’ to tell him how I love him,

I’m a-goin’ to tell him how I love him some o’ these days.

I’m a-goin’ to wear them golden slippers,

I’m a-goin’ to wear them golden slippers, hal-lu-yah!

I’m a-goin’ to wear them golden slippers,

I’m a-goin’ to wear them golden slippers some o’ these days.
