Blue Highway's version has different lyrics and they don't post their lyrics on this song along with their other songs (which is then difficult for listeners to figure them out. Anyone know why?
Here's what I could figure, but I trouble at the third and last line of Blue Mountain Band's version. Maybe someone else knows?
Live on Down the Line Blue Highway Band (from their Wondrous Love Album) website: bluehighwayband.com
vs 1 Come on you good people Gather 'round me here See God's kingdom deep within ?? Praise the Lord He come to set you free.
Chorus: I'm a gonna live on down the line Gonna live on down the line I'm a gonna live on down the line Where the Sabbath has no end.
Vs 2 Well there was bold Daniel Went down in the lion's den But when he prayed to Jesus Jesus was his friend.
Chorus
vs 3 Some say give me silver Some say give me gold But I say "Give me the Holy Word It's a blessing to my soul!"
Chorus
vs 4 Come on, you good people, Tell me what you see? Do ya see our Lord ascending Calvary's on the tree ??? not sure this last line
I'm a gonna live on down the line Gonna live on down the line I'm a gonna live on down the line Where the Sabbath has no end!
