[I ax all dem brudder* roun',
Brudder,* why can't you pray for me?
I ax all dem brudder roun',
Brudder, why can't you pray for me?
1. I'm gwine to my heaven, I'm gwine home,
Archangel open de door;
I'm gwine to my heaven, I'm gwine home;
Archangel open de door.]
2 Brudder, tuk off your knapsack, I'm gwine home;
Archangel open de door.
