COMING DAY/ IX. THE COMING DAY- Thomas Wentworth Higginson 1867
I want to go to Cannan,
I want to go to Cannan,
I want to go to Cannan,
To meet 'em at de comin' day.
O, remember, let me go to Canaan (Thrice.)
To meet 'em, at de comin' day.
O brudder, let me go to Canaan, (Thrice.)
To meet 'em, at de comin' day.
My brudder, you -- oh! -- remember (Thrice.)
To meet 'em, at de comin' day.
To meet 'em at de comin' day.
