Spiritual, Traditional, author unknown

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God

I want to meet my mother
I want to meet my mother
I want to meet my mother
Going home to live with God

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God

I want to meet my sister
I want to meet my sister
I want to meet my sister
Going home to live with God

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God

Not a happy song, if you think about it.

Different version(s) of the lyrics -- I transribed those listening to Amasong's, um, is cover the right word for this? -- at negrospirituals.com.

Warned you that I geek out about this stuff.
