Just a Few More Days is a gospel song. The idea may have come from the third verse of the 1903 gospel song "The Good Old-Fashioned Way".

"Just a few more steps to follow
Just a few more days to roam..."

There are refernces to it in The New Cokesbury Hymnal, Nashville (1928) edited by Charles C . Washburn:

"Just a few more days to be filled with praise, And to tell the...
Just a few more years with their toil and tears, And the journey..."

Hymns of Praise: For the Church and Sunday School by F. G. Kingsbury -Hymns, English - 1922 - page 15

Anyone find it in one of these or other hymnals?

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS- Carter Family 1938

Not so long ago one morning
Mother called me to her bed
Then she threw her arms around me
Listen to the words she said
Darling, I am going to leave you
But you'll not be left alone
Jesus will protect and shield you
After he has carried me home

    Just a few more days of sorrow
    Just a few more days of pain
    Just a few more days of cloudiness
    Just a few more days of rain
    Then I'm going to live with Jesus
    He has got a home prepared
    Then I'll join the holy angels
    Mother will be waiting there

Sometimes I am sorely tempted
Sometimes I am sorely tired
But to overcome I'm trying
Taking Jesus as my guide
Oh, sometimes the path seems rugged
But it only makes me pray
And I know if I keep trying
I'll see my mother some sweet day

    Just a few more days of sorrow
    Just a few more days of pain
    Just a few more days of cloudiness
    Just a few more days of rain
    Then I'm going to live with Jesus
    He has got a home prepared
    Then I'll join the holy angels
    Mother will be waiting there
