GOOD NEWS, DE CHARIOT'S COMIN'

cho: Good news, de chariot's comin',
Good news, de chariot's comin',
Good news, de chariot's comin',
I don' want her leave-a me behind.

Gwine to get up in de chariot, carry me home,
Get up in de chariot, carry me home,
Get up in de chariot, carry me home,
An' I don' want her leave-a me behind.

Dar's a long white robe in de hebben, I know,
A long white robe in de hebben, I know,
A long white robe in de hebben, I know,
An' I don' want her leave-a me behind.

Dar's a golden crown in de hebben, I know,
A golden crown in de hebben, I know,
A golden crown in de hebben, I know,
An' I don' want her leave-a me behind.

Dar's a golden harp in de hebben, I know,
A golden harp in de hebben, I know,
A golden harp in de hebben, I know,
An' I don' want her leave-a me behind.

Dar's silver slippers in de hebben, I know,
Silver slippers in de hebben, I know,
Silver slippers in de hebben, I know,
An' I don' want her leave-a me behind.


Fenner, T. P., 1874, Cabin and Plantation Songs, p. 224, with music, in
