[C]Gonna buy me a [Em]long white robe [F]yes Lord to [G]get me home
[C]Gonna buy me a [Em]long white robe [F]yes Lord to [G]get me home
And when I [C]get my heavenly [C7]gown & I [F]lay my burdens [Ab]down
I'm gonna [C]get me a [A]long white [D]robe to [G]get me [C]home [F] [G7]
Gonna buy me two golden slippers yes Lord to get me home
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
Gonna buy me two wings of silver yes Lord to get me home
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
Gonna buy me a poor man's trouble Yes Lord to help me home
Gonna buy me a poor man's trouble Yes Lord to help me home
And when I get my trouble & woe then homeward I will go
I'm gonna get a little trouble & woe to get me home
Gonna get me a smiling angel yes Lord to lead me home
Gonna get me a smiling angel yes Lord to lead me home
And when He takes me buy the hand I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to get me home
[G7]I'm gonna [C]get me a [A]smiling [D]angel to [G]get me [C]home
