Refrain:
O bye and bye, bye and bye,
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load.
1 I know my robe’s gonna fit me well,
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load.
I tried it on at the gates of hell.
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load. [Refrain]
2 O hell is deep and in dark despair,
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load.
So stop, po’ sinner and don’t go there.
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load. [Refrain]
3 O Christian, can’t you arise and tell,
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load.
That Jesus hath done all things well.
I’m gonna lay down my heavy load. [Refrain]
