If You Get There Before I Do

No title. From MS of R. B. Edwards, Durham, December 4, igig.
Printed by White in ANFS iii, with notes and references, in particular

If you get there hefore I do, all right, all right.

Jesus will make it all right.

Just tell them that I am coming too, all right, all right.

If you get there before I do, all right.

Just scratch a hole and pull me through, all right, all right.
