The chorus "Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more" appears in two religious songs reported in Newman I. White, 1928 (1965), "American Negro Folk Songs;" no. 28 and no. 70.

No. 28
One of these days, 'bout twelve o'clock
This old world's gonna reel and rock,
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more,
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

I'm goin' to Heaven and I'm gonna ride
Six white horses side by side,
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more,
I ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

MS J. R. Jackson, 1915-1916, Auburn, AL.
White remarks that he has heard stanza 1 sung with "Pharoah's Army."

No. 70
Lyr. Add: AIN'T GONNA GRIEVE, MY LORD, NO MORE

Oh! down in the valley where I was told
The grace of God is better than gold
The grace of God is better than gold.

Cho.
Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more,
Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more.

Oh! watch the sun, see how it run,
Never let it catch you with your work undone,
Never let it catch you with your work undone.

Oh! down yonder in the harvest field,
The angels are working on the chariot wheel. (2x))

Oh! Satan's like a snake in the grass,
Always in some Christian's path (2x)

Oh! mind, my sister, how you walk on the cross,
Your right foot'll slip and your soul'll get lost (2x).

These verses used in many similar songs.
MS of W. H. Lander, 1919, Durham, NC.
