King Jesus will be mine
I’m mos’ done working with crosses,
King Jesus will be mine
I’ll reach to heaven bye an’ bye;

The moon run down in a purple stream,
The sun refused to shine,
And all the stars disappeared,
King Jesus will be mine.

King Jesus will be mine
I’m mos’ done working with crosses,
King Jesus will be mine
I’ll reach to heaven bye an’ bye;

I wish I was in heav’n
To see my mother when she entered,
My mother wore a long white robe,
Outshined the glittering sun,
Outshined the glittering sun.

I’m mos’ done working with crosses,
Outshined the glittering sun,
I’ll reach to heaven bye an’ bye.

My knee bone’s a-achin’
My side’s a-rackin’ wid a pain,
I really believe I’m a child of God
And heaven is my aim,
And heaven is my aim,

I’m mos’ done working with crosses
And heaven is my aim,
I’ll reach to heaven bye an’ bye.
