I Will Do My Last Singing In This Land

(Reverend Gary Davis)

 

I will do my last singin' in this land, somewhere.
I will do my last singin' in this land... somewhere.
I don't know where it may be--
Maybe somewhere sailing over the sea.
I will do my last singin' in this land, somewhere.

I will do my last travelin' in this land, child, somewhere.
I will do my last travelin' in this land... somewhere.
I don't know, and I can't tell where--
Maybe somewhere sailing in the air.
I will do my last travelin' in this land, child, somewhere.

I will pay my last visit in this land, somewhere.
I will pay my last visit in this land... somewhere.
I don't know, and I can't tell where--
Just sure my Jesus will be there!
I will pay my last visit in this land, child, somewhere.

I will do my last moanin' in this land, somewhere.
I will do my last moanin' in this land... somewhere.
I may be somewhere down on my knees--
Askin' my good Lord to give my poor heart ease.
I will do my last moanin' in this land, child, somewhere.

I will do my last preachin' in this land, somewhere.
I will do my last preachin' in this land... somewhere.
I don't know where it may be--
Just that my good Lord would still believe in me...
I will do my last preachin' in this land, child, somewhere.
