Goin' To Sit Down On The Banks Of The River - Rev. Gary Davis

I’m gonna run through the streets of the city

Where my Lord have gone on before

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

I won’t be back no more

All my crying will be over

I won’t have to cry no more

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

And I won’t be back no more

We’re gonna have a good time when we all get there

Gonna crown Him Lord of all

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

God knows I won’t be back no more

Hallelujah!

Well, well

Oh, well

Oh, oh, yeah!

Oh, God knows

Well gonna be where no lies be told on me

When I get on the other side

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

Well I won’t be back no more

Tell God all about my troubles

That I had in this world here below

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

Hey!

I’m gonna fly from mansion to mansion

When I get on the other side

I’m gonna sit down on the banks of the river

Well I won’t be back no more

Gonna meet my mother and my father

And my sisters and my brothers too

Yeah!

What?

I’ll be where I won’t have to say no more goodbyes

And won’t have to part no more

Yeah, sit down on the banks of the river

Lord I won’t be back no more
