Bye And Bye (Gonna See The King) - Ronnie Lane

One, two

A-one, two, three, four

When the cold bites at your fingers

And the damp comes through your shoes

And you’re far too proud to shout out loud

'Sides your lips too cracked and blue

Take cold comfort in the knowledge

That you did what you had to do

Nobody to blame but you

You say, «Thank you, Lord, for giving me this day»

You say, «Sorry, my friend, I’ll live myself this day»

If I lie down peaceful, would you spirit me away?

Only you can give it to me

Only you can make me pay

When the sun beats on your red neck

And your back feels on to break

When you work from dawn to darkness

Longly I’d make the summer hay

Take comfort in the know-how

That it has to be this way

There’s no point of looking forward

You have your breath this day

You say, «Thank you, Lord, for what I have to do»

You say, «Sorry, sir, for thinking without you»

If I lie down peaceful, would you do what you can do?

Only you can give it to me

And you got my eye, oh you

And I say, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

I say, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

«Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

Ain’t no use, being afraid

I’m a child of God

Bye and bye

When the sun beats on your red neck

And your back feels on to break

When you work from dawn to darnkess

Longly I’d make the summer hay (No)

Take comfort in the know-how

That it has to be this way

No one-

Stop looking for what you have not got

You have your breath this day

You say, «Thank you, Lord for what I have to do»

You say, «Sorry, sir, for thinking without you»

If I lie down peaceful, would you see what you can do?

Only you can take it to me

Only you can take it too

I say, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

You say, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

«Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

Ain’t no use in being afraid

'Cause I’m a child of God

Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king

You say, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

«Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

Ain’t no use in being afraid

'Cause I’m a child of God

Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king

I said, «Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

«Bye and bye, I’m gonna see the king»

Ain’t no use in being afraid

'Cause I’m a child of God
