BORROWED LAND-The Ruby Pickens Tartt Collection of Religious Folk Songs
We're down here livin' on borrowed land,
Borrowed land, borrowed land,
We're down here livin' on borrowed land,
I'm gwine back with Him when He comes.
We're down here prayin' on borrowed land,
Borrowed land, borrowed land,
We're down here prayin' on borrowed land,
I'm gwine back with Him when He comes.
We're down here moanin' on borrowed land,
Borrowed land, borrowed land,
We're down here moanin' on borrowed land,
I'm gwine back with Him when He comes.
