I smack my han' on de debbil's lip;

Don' you hear de debbil a hollerin'?

I'se gwine to sail in de ship of de Lohd

Dat's a runnin' to glory at de ferryin';

I'se gwine to be buried in de grace of Gohd;

Ain't you gwine to come to my buryin'?

Come along-a sisteh an' a come along-a bruddeh,

Come along-a one an' a come along de uddeh,

Bring along a frien' an' a bring along anuddeh;

Ain't you gwine to come to my buryin'?
