Death's a gwine to shake dis frame of mine.
And I never will turn back no more.

No more, my Lawd, no more, my Lawd,
And I never will turn back no more.

2 Hypocrite, hypocrite God despise.
Tongue so keen and he will tell lies.
And I never will turn back no more.

Look out for nie — I'm comin' too.
And I never will turn l)ack no more.
