No more moanin', no more moanin'

No more weepin', no more weepin',

And go home to my Lord and be free.

 

No more shootin', no more shootin',

No more shootin' over me!

And before I'd be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave.

And go home to my Lord and be free.

 

There'll be singin', there'll be singin'

There'll be singin' over me!

And before I'd be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave.

And go home to my Lord and be free.
