Gordon Lightfoot - Rich Man's Spiritual Lyrics

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 smiling angel, yes, Lord, to lead me home.
I'm gonna find me a smiling 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 smiling angel to lead me home.
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home.
