Bye and Bye After A While- Brother Joe May 1963  

After a while (after a while) in the bye and bye (in the bye and bye)
Oh after a while, (Lord after a while) in the bye and bye (in the bye and bye)
I'm gonna see King Jesus (after a while) tell Him all my troubles (in the bye and bye)
After a while, (Lord after a while) in the bye and bye (in the bye and bye).

Now my father's gone on (Lord after a while) gone on to glory (in the bye and bye)
Gonna see my father (Lord after a while) tell him my story (in the bye and bye).
We'll talk about our troubles (after a while), how we made it over (in the bye and bye).
See my father (Lord after a while) in the bye and bye (in the bye and bye)

My mother gone on (Lord after a while) in the sweet bye and bye (in the bye and bye)
Gonna see my mother (after a while) after a while (in the bye and bye).
Gonna talk about our troubles (after a while), how we made it over (in the bye and bye)
Gonna see my mother (after a while) in the bye and bye (in the bye and bye).
