Thread Name: Lyr ADD: I Come For to Sing (Gibson, et al.)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Two Songs
dang - I wish I could find the lyrics to this...I know there is at least one more verse I've heard.

what I remember is:

Some come to work, while others to play.
Some come in evening, to pass time away.
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring,
But as for me, I come for to sing.


Some come in winter to ward off the chill
some come in summer to drink up their fill
Some come in autumn, and others in spring
But as for me, I come for to sing

Some come to work, while others to play.
Some come in evening, to pass time away.
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring,
But as for me, I come for to sing.


Some folks enjoy life, while others do not.
Some love to extol on what they ain't got.
But as for me, it don't mean a thing.
For when I come, I come for to sing.

Some come to work, while others to play.
Some come in evening, to pass time away.
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring,
But as for me, I come for to sing.
