Lord I Cant Stay Away by Wiseman Sextette Lyrics

[Introduction]
We present on this record one of the most typical of the real Negro spirituals, and one of the most effective in revival meetings. You will hear it here with its quaint minor and all the peculiar turns, just as you would hear it from one of the most primitive congregations of the real South. "Lord, I Can't Stay Away":

[Chorus]
Lord, I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away

[Verse 1]
I've got to go to judgement to stand my trial
Got to go to judgement, stand my trial
Got to go to judgement, stand my trial
I can't stay away

[Chorus]
Lord, I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
[Verse 2]
I've got to go to Heaven to live with Jesus
I've got to go to Heaven to live with Jesus
I've got to go to Heaven to live with Jesus
I can't stay away

[Chorus]
Lord, I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away

[Verse 3]
They're coming from the east, coming from the west
Coming from the north, coming from the south
Coming on the rainbow, coming on the cloud
I can't stay away

[Chorus]
Lord, I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away

Lord, I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away
