Lyrics: Lightfoot
Gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord, to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a long white robe
Yes Lord, to get me home
And when I get my heavenly gown
And I lay my burden down
I'm gonna get me a long white robe to get me home
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord, to walk me home
I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers
Yes Lord, to walk me home
And when I get my slippers of gold
Then the Lord will have my soul
I'm gonna get me two golden slippers to get me home
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes Lord, to fly me home
I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver
Yes Lord, to fly me home
And when I get my silvery wings
Then an angel choir will sing
I'm gonna get me two wings of silver to get me home
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes Lord, to help me home
I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble
Yes Lord, to help me home
And when I get my trouble and woe
Then homeward I will go
I'm gonna get a little trouble and woe to get me home
I'm gonna find me a smiling angel
Yes Lord, to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel
Yes Lord, to lead me home
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home
