Rich Man's Spiritual

Gordon Lightfoot

Gonna but me a long white robe

Yes Lord to help me home

I'm gonna buy me a long white robe

Yes Lord to get me home

And when I get my heavenly gown

And I lay my burden down

I'm gonna get me a long white robe to get me home

I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers

Yes Lord to walk me home

I'm gonna buy me two golden slippers

Yes Lord to walk me home

And when I get my slippers of gold

Then the Lord will have my soul

I'm gonna get me two golden slippers to get me home

I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver

Yes Lord to fly me home

I'm gonna buy me two wings of silver

Yes Lord to fly me home

And when I get my silvery wings

Then an angel choir will sing

I'm gonna get me two wings of silver to get me home

I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble

Yes Lord to help me home

I'm gonna buy me a poor man's trouble

Yes Lord to help me home

And when I get my trouble and woe

Then homeward I will go

I'm gonna get a little trouble and woe to get me home

I'm gonna find me a smilin' angel

Yes Lord to lead me home

I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel

Yes Lord to lead me home

And when he takes me by the hand

I know the Lord will understand

I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel to lead me home

I'm gonna get me a smilin' angel to lead me home
