Bye And Bye Gonna See The King

verse 1 When the cold bites at your fingers And the damp comes through your shoes And you're far too proud to shout out loud 'Sides your lips are cracked and blue Take cold comfort in the knowledge That you did what you had to do Nobody to blame but you verse 2 You say "thank you, Lord, for giving me this day" You say "sorry, friend, I'll live myself this day" If I lie down peaceful would you spirit me away Only you can give it to me Only you can make me pay verse 3 When the sun beats on your redneck And your back feels on to break When you work from dawn to darkness Long tying the summer hay Take comfort in the know-how That it has to be this way There's no point in looking forward, You have your breath these days verse 4 You say "thank you, Lord, for what I have to do" You say "sorry, Sir, for thinking without you" If I lie down peaceful Would you do what you can do Only you can give it to me And you got my IOU And I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" "Bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" Ain't no use being afraid I'm a child of God (Bye and bye) Verse 5 When the sun beats on your redneck And your back feels on to break When you work from dawn to darkness Long tying the summer hay Take cold comfort in the know-how That it has to be this way No one's obligated for it And my god you have your breath these days Verse 6 You say "thank you, Lord, for what I have to do" You say "sorry, Sir, for thinking without you" If I lie down peaceful Would you see what you can do? Only you can take it to me Only you can take it through I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" You say "bye and bye I am gonna see the King" "Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the King" Ain't no use in being afraid 'Cause I'm a child of God
