1st and 3rd lines of each verse solo, 2nd and 4th lines chorus.

An extended musical score, pp. 68-71, "Do Don't Touch-a My Garment, Good Lord, I'm Gwine Home," is in James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamund Johnson, 1926, "The Second Book of Negro Spirituals."
There are a few small differences in notation, but it is very close to the Ballanta score.
The Chorus line is "Good Lord, I'm gwine home."
