Text

I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.
Oh yes I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.

Oh Saints and sinner will you go?
See the heavenly land
I’m gwine up to heaven to see my robe
See the heavenly land,
Gonna see my robe an’ try it on
See the heavenly land,
It is brighter than the golden run
See the heavenly land,

I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.
Oh yes I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.

I’m gonna keep on climbin’ high,
See that heavenly land
I’ll meet those angels in the sky
See that heavenly land,
When the snow white angels look on me
See that heavenly land,
The the devil is gonna let me be,
See that heavenly land,

I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.
Oh yes I’m gwine up, gwine up, gwine all the way,
Lord, gwine up, gwine up, to see the heavenly land.
