I'm goin' to ride through the streets of the city
Where my Lord has gone on before
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
All my cryin' will be over
I won't have to cry no more
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
Goin' to have a good time
when we get there,
Goin' to sit down by my Savior's side
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
I can shout, sing and give
God's praises
Sayin' Glory be to His Name
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
I'll be where no hearse wheel will be rollin'
Where I won't have to die no more
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
I'll be where I can be free from trouble
And I won't be in trouble no more
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
I'll be where I won't have to be looked over
When I get on the other side
I'm goin' to sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
