Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
My soul’s so happy Lord,
I can’t sit down.

That ain’t all you know
You promised me
Promise me a long white robe
And a pair of wings.

Go over yonder angel
Get my servant’s wings,
Place them on my servant’s frame,
Now servant do sit down.

Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
My soul’s so happy Lord,
I can’t sit down.

Go over yonder angel
Get my servant’s crown
Place them on my servant’s head,
Now servant do sit down.

Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
Sit down servant,
I can’t sit down
My soul’s so happy Lord,
I can’t sit down.
