I'm gonna run through the streets of the city
Where my Lord have gone on before
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
I won't be back no more
All my crying will be over
I won't have to cry no more
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
And I won't be back no more
We're gonna have a good time when we all get there
Gonna crown Him Lord of all
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
God knows I won't be back no more
Hallelujah!
Well, well
Oh, well
Oh, oh, yeah!
Oh, God knows
Well gonna be where no lies be told on me
When I get on the other side
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
Well I won't be back no more
Tell God all about my troubles
That I had in this world here below
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
Hey!
I'm gonna fly from mansion to mansion
When I get on the other side
I'm gonna sit down on the banks of the river
Well I won't be back no more
Gonna meet my mother and my father
And my sisters and my brothers too
Yeah!
What?
I'll be where I won't have to say no more goodbyes
And won't have to part no more
Yeah, sit down on the banks of the river
Lord I won't be back no more
