Soon I'll be done (trouble of the world)
(Soon) I'll be done (I'll be done)
With the trouble (the trouble of the world)
Going home (home) to live (to live)
With the Lord (with the Lord)
Listen—
My mother and father
Teach me how to pray
And if I fail to go through
I know I'll be done with the trouble
Of this world and when it's all over
I'll only go to Jesus and I'll tell him
With a saint heart from me who died
I'll only tell him I'll be done with the trouble of the world
Oh Lordy, then I'll tell my mother and I'll say
When I get through
Singing down here
I tell them I say
Soon I will be done (trouble of the world)
(Soon) I'll be done (I'll be done)
With the trouble (the trouble of the world)
Going home (home) to live (to live)
With the Lord (with the Lord) again, oh yeah
When it's all over
When it's all over
I'll tell you what it's worth
Going home to live with the Lord, again
Going home (I'm going home)
Going home (I'm going home, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Going home (I'm going home)
On my way back home right now (I'm going home)
You can't turn me around (I'm going home)
Because I'm sticking with Jesus a long time ago (I'm going home)
Many nights I've cried from morning till night (I'm going home)
Tell the Lord all about my trouble (I'm going home)
And when I get up there with Jesus (I'm going home)
Going to tell this whole world goodbye (I'm going home)
