THANKS, Gene! Amazing what the folk process will do. I have always sang the last verse as
Let us all get right with our MAKER
As HE DOETH all things well
THEN be ready to meet in judgment
When we bid this Earth farewell
which seems to me to make a little more sense. . . honesty demands that I heard it first from the New Lost City Ramblers (volume II IIRC) and only later from Pop S, so I may be echoing what Mike Seeger heard and sang.
