Oh! white folks listen while I sing to you a song l'se gwine to cross de river bye-aud-bye; And I hope I won't detain you longI'so gwine to cross de river bye-aud-bye. Oh! de angel Gabriel, blowing on his hornI'se gwine to cross de river bye-and-bye; "Wake up all de niggers on de judgment mornI*96 gwine to cross de river bye-and-bye. 
Chorus. Den shout for glory, shout for glory, childrenI'm gwine to get on de gospel train, To cross o'er de river bye-aud-bye. 
I'm gwine to ballelujah, for to wear a glory crown-And I'm gwine to cross de river bye-and-bye: Make all you sinners come a 'tumbling down-. I'se gwine to cross de river bve-and bye. Oli! de golden cbariot am awaiting for you allI'se gwine to cross de river bye-aud-bye; Take ail on board from de large to de smalll'se gwine to cross de river hye-and-byc.-Chorus. 
Oh! de angel Gabriel lives in de skyI'se gwine to cross de river bye-and-bye; And I hope I'll go dere when I dieI'se gwine to cross de river bye-and bye. For de good people go dere without any costI'se gwiue to cross de river bye-and-bye; And de bad ones surely will get lostI'se gwine to cross de river bye-aud-bye.-Chorus.
