GO DOWN, DEATH

Oh, de sperrit say: I want you for to
Go down, death, easy,
I want you go down, death, easy,
I want you go down, death, easy,
An' bring my servant home.

Preach my glory an' my mighty name.
I want you go down, I want you go down
An' bring my servant home.

Oh, de sperrit say: I want you for to
Creep to de bedside easy,

An' bring my servant home.

An' bring my servant home.

Cut loose de heart-strings easy,

An' bring my servant home.

Step to de graveyard easy,

An' bring my servant home.

Pass over hell-flames easy,

An' bring my servant home.

Oh, de sperrit say: I want you for to
March up in de Kingdom easy,

I want you march up in de Kingdom easy,
An' bring my servant home.

Preach my glory an' my mighty name.
I want you go down, I want you go down,
An' bring my servant home.
