Bye and Bye (Gonna See the King) Songtext

Bye and Bye (Gonna See the King) Songtext
One, two
A-one, two, three, four
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
You say "thank you, Lord, for giving me this day"
You say "sorry, my 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
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
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
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 confort 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
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
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
Bye and bye, I′m gonna see the King
I 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
A-one, two, three, four
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
You say "thank you, Lord, for giving me this day"
You say "sorry, my 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
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
You say "thank you, Lord, for what I have to do"
You say "sorry, Sir, for thinking without you"

"Bye and bye

Bye and bye

"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the King"
Ain′t no use in being afraid
'Cause I'm a child of God
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
Bye and bye, I′m gonna see the King
I 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
