Goin' Sit Down On The Banks Of The River 

I'm gonna run through the streets of the city 
Where my Lord have gone on before 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
I won't be back no more 
All my crying will be over 
I won't have to cry no more 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
And I won't be back no more 
We're gonna have a good time when we all get there 
Gonna crown Him Lord of all 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
God knows I won't be back no more 
Hallelujah! 
Well, well 
Oh, well 
Oh, oh, yeah! 
Oh, God knows 
Well gonna be where no lies be told on me 
When I get on the other side 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
Well I won't be back no more 
Tell God all about my troubles 
That I had in this world here below 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
Hey! 
I'm gonna fly from mansion to mansion 
When I get on the other side 
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river 
Well I won't be back no more 
Gonna meet my mother and my father 
And my sisters and my brothers too 
Yeah! 
What? 
I'll be where I won't have to say no more goodbyes 
And won't have to part no more 
Yeah, sit down on the banks of the river 
Lord I won't be back no more
