Bye and Bye Little Children- Golden Gate Quartet; Travelin' Shoes

CHORUS: Bye and bye little children singing
Bye and bye (well God's a- gonna)
Lay down this spirit
Bye and bye little children singing
Bye and bye (well God's a- gonna)
Lay down this spirit

CHORUS:

If I get sick and I can't get well
I'm a-gonna lay down this spirit
If you soul's bound for hell
I'm a-gonna lay down this spirit
Follow me and begin to pray
I'm a-gonna lay down this spirit
Lord have mercy for my sinful ways
I'm a-gonna lay down this spirit

CHORUS:

If you get to heaven before I do,
I'm a-gonna lay down this spirit
Look for me I'm coming too.
I'm gonna Lay down this spirit
When I get to heaven I'm gonna sing and shout
I'm gonna Lay down this spirit
Ain't nobody gonna turn me out
Lay down this spirit
