1 I'se gwine to Jordan on de wheels ob time;
Death's a gwine to shake dis frame of mine.
And I never will turn back no more.
Chorus:
No more, my Lawd, no more, my Lawd,
And I never will turn back no more.
2 Hypocrite, hypocrite God despise.
Tongue so keen and he will tell lies.
And I never will turn back no more.
3 If you get there before I do,
Look out for nie — I'm comin' too.
And I never will turn l)ack no more.
