Oh, wait till I put on my robe,
wait till I put on my robe,
oh, when I put on my robe,
oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Wait till I put on my robe,
wait till I put on my robe,
oh when I put on my robe,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Going up the river so chilly and cold,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Chills the body but not the soul,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Well one of these mornings
and it won't be long,
oh yeah, oh yeah
You look for me and I'll be gone
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Going up to heaven, gonna sing and shout
Oh yeah, oh yeah
There'll be nobody there to turn me out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well, wait till I put on my robe,
wait till I put on my robe,
oh, when I put on my robe,
oh yeah, oh yeah
To the river, stick my soul in the sand,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Shout trouble over in the promised land,
oh yeah, oh yeah
I've been to the river
and I've been baptized,
oh yeah, oh yeah
Tryin' to make it over
to the other side
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well, wait till I put on my robe
Wait till I put on my robe
Oh, when I put on my robe
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh, wait till I put on my robe
Wait till I put on my robe,
oh, when I put on my robe
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah you
