By an By by Paul Robeson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh by and by
By and by
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load
Oh by and by
By and by
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load

[Verse 2]
I know my robe's going to fit me well
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
I tried it on at the gates of hell
I'm goin' to lay down this heavy load

[Chorus]
Oh by and by
By and by
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load

[Verse 3]
Oh, one of these mornings, bright and fair
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
I'll take my wings and cleave the air
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load
[Chorus]
Oh by and by
By and by
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load

[Verse 4]
Oh, when I get to heaven for to sing and shout
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load
There's nobody there to turn me out
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load

[Chorus]
Oh by and by
By and by
I'm gonna lay down this heavy load
