Gonna be leavin',
Gonna be leavin' soon,
This I know.
I'm gonna be leavin' soon,
Where the water tastes like moonshine,
Leavin' soon this I know.
Don't you miss me then,
Don't you miss me when I go.
Don't you miss me then,
Just sleep my lady friend,
And wait till I come home.
I ain't gonna fear no pain,
I ain't gonna fear no pain any more,
I ain't gonna fear no pain,
Ain't nothin' worth that strain,
I'm gonna walk in the hands of the lord.
God won't do me wrong,
God won't do me wrong this I know,
God won't do me wrong
My steps become so strong now,
I know he won't do me wrong.
