Soon-a will be done a-with the troubles of the world
Troubles of the world, troubles of the world
Soon-a will be done a-with the troubles of the world
Goin' home to live with God

No more weeping and a-wailing
No more weeping and a-wailing
No more weeping and a-wailing
I'm goin' to live with God

I want t' to meet my mother
I want t' to meet my mother
I want t' to meet my mother
I'm goin' to live with God

I want t' meet my Jesus
I want t' meet my Jesus
I want t' meet my Jesus
I'm goin' to live with God

SOON-A WILL BE DONE (Second version)

 

Soon-a will be done a-with the trouble of this world
Troubles of the world, trouble of this world
Soon-a will be done a-with the trouble of this world
Going to live with God

Come my brother and go with me
Come my brother and go with me
Come my brother and go with me
Let King Jesus make you free

When I get to heav'n I will sing and tell
When I get to heav'n I will sing and tell
When I get to heav'n I will sing and tell
How I did shun both death and hell.
