from « Spirituals »
by William Stickles, 1948

 

Oh, saints an’ sinners will-a you go
See the heavenly land
I’m a-going up to heaven for to see my robe
See the heavenly land

 

   Oh, yes I’m going up, going up
Going up all the way, Lord,
Going up to see the heavenly land
Oh, yes I’m going up, going up
Going up all the way, Lord,
Going up to see the heavenly land

 

Going to see my robe an’ try it on
See the heavenly robe
Ti’s brighter than the glittering sun
See the heavenly land
