Well I guess I been hanging around too long it’s just about time I was moving along
But I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
And don’t you worry and don’t you moan it’s just about time I was moving along
But I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m a gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
Don’t you worry and don’t you moan it’s just about time I was moving along
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning

And when I’m dead and you carry me away
Don’t you bury me deep cause I ain’t gonna stay
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Just a little bit of dirt and a little bit of gravel
Don’t you weigh me down cause you know I gotta travel
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m gonna kneel at the feet…
(I’m gonna kneel at the feet…)
