All Ober Dis Yer World- Emma M. Backus, Columbia Co. Georgia
If yo' get ter Heaben befo' I do,
All ober dis yer world,
O tell my Lord I'se a-comin' too.
All ober dis yer world.
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
Soon be ober, soon be ober :
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world.
For de burnin' time is er comin' ober,
All ober dis yer world,
An' ashes 'ill fill de breath od Heaben.
All ober dis yer world.
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
Soon be ober, soon be ober :
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world.
Den de mournin' times 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world,
An' I'll be counted in de number,
All ober dis yer world.
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
Soon be ober, soon be ober :
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world.
Den de prayin' times 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world,
You'll hyar de sinners graonin' under,
All ober dis yer world.
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
Soon be ober, soon be ober :
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world.
But de weepin' time 'ill soon ober,
All ober dis yer world,
Whne Jesus ridin' in de glory,
All ober dis yer world.
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
Soon be ober, soon be ober,
O glorious time 'ill soon be ober,
All ober dis yer world.
