NIGGER HEBB'N
What I'se sowed, I'se gwineter reap,
Gwineter come home ter Jesus.
Gwineter come home ter Jesus.
Dar dey'll gib me raiment new,
In Jerusalem land.
Turkey red, an' calico blue,
In Jerusalem land.
Feed on possum 'n' 'taters too,
Drink dose draps of hebb'nly dew,
Lots fer me—an' some fer you
In Jerusalem land.
In Jerusalem land.
Turkey red, an' calico blue,
In Jerusalem land.
Feed on possum 'n' 'taters too,
Drink dose draps of hebb'nly dew,
Lots fer me—an' some fer you
In Jerusalem land.
Nigger Hebb'n! Nigger Hebb'n!
I'm flyin' high, I'm flyin' high, de top seat in de sky,
Risin' through yer, risin' through yer,
To receive my soul's reward.
Howdy sebb'n! Come elebb'n!
O come erlong, O come erlong, an' jine de serrubs' song—
Dey'll howdy-do yer, Halleluyah!
In de kingdom of my Lawd!
I'm flyin' high, I'm flyin' high, de top seat in de sky,
Risin' through yer, risin' through yer,
To receive my soul's reward.
Howdy sebb'n! Come elebb'n!
O come erlong, O come erlong, an' jine de serrubs' song—
Dey'll howdy-do yer, Halleluyah!
In de kingdom of my Lawd!
