RES', SWEET RES'
De toil en de trouble's almos' done,
Res', sweet res';
De w'ary road en de burnin' sun,
Res', sweet res';
I hears de harps ob hebben ring,
So sof', low songs ma Mammy sing,
Way yonder in de happy spring,
Res', sweet res'.
I's gwine back ter de ole home place,
Res', sweet res';
Fo' daylite dies I'll see her face,
Res', sweet res';
I sees her standin' in de do',
De moonlite on de cabin flo',
En I's gwine home fo' ebermo',
Res', sweet res'.
