Com' 'Long, Brother- Charles Lincoln Edwards 1895
My brother, it's no partikalar place fah you,
An' I sahr a city in my new.
Com' 'long, brother, go with me,
I sahr a city in my new.
Com', go with me to the house of God
I sahr a city in my new.
Jacob's ladde' mus' be long,
I sahr a city in my new.
De angels shout from Heavin down,
I sahr a city in my new.
Pray my brothe' you soon be free,
I sahr a city in my new.
Pray with the spirit of God in your soul,
I sahr a city in my new.
