This is an often reworked spiritual, discussed with some lyrics in thread 41654: I Can't Stay Away
Title- "I Wish I Had Died in Egypt Land." The version in Work, "American Negro Songs and Spirituals," p. 157 is reproduced in the above thread.
The most complete version is given in the thread by Masato, from "Calhoun Plantation Songs," "I Never Intend to Die in Egypt Land."

According to McIlhenny, in "Befo' de War Spirituals," p. 120, this is one of the old spirituals from before the Civil War.

The 'color' verses given by Padre are floaters that appear in several spirituals and gospel songs, and were added by some of the later groups and do not appear in the collections by Work and McIlhenny.
