Subject: Lry. and Origin of Spiritual: When I Die

There's a folk hymn and spritual titled "When I Die."

Here's an African-American version:

Good Lord, When I Die

I want to go to Heaven when I die.
I want to go to Heaven when I die.
I want to go to Heaven when I die.
Good Lord, when I die.

Refrain: Good Lord, when I die,
Good Lord, when I die,
Good Lord, when I die, shout one,
Good Lord, when I die.

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,

Richie
