Don't weep for me when I'm dead and gone
For I'll just be going home
Heaven's light will shine on me
It will lead me to Eternity
When I take my final breath
Lay these feeble bones to rest
And I will run through Heaven's gates
Where my blessed Savior waits
And He will take me by my hand
And I'll be happier than I've ever been
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
And stay together in the Promised Land
I will hear my mama sing
Feel my daddy's arms holding me
And I will cry tears of joy
When I see my friends who've gone before
Ah, he's gonna take me by my hand
And I'm gonna be happier than I've ever been
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
And stay together in the Promised Land
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
