SING ME OUT
by Kate Campbell
Down in Mississippi on a winter’s day,
They laid his little girl in an early grave;
Only the good Lord knows the tears he cried,
When the angels sang her over to the other side.
Sing me out,
Lay my burdens down!
Sing me out,
And take my body to the burying ground.
Sing me over Jordan cause I'm glory bound,
Oh sweet Lord, won't you sing me out!
Everyone said she was born of a shame,
From a rich man’s blood bore a poor man’s name;
But he loved that child like she was his own,
The closest thing to heaven he would ever hold.
Sing me out,
Lay my burdens down!
Sing me out,
And take my body to the burying ground.
Sing me over Jordan cause I'm glory bound,
Oh sweet Lord, won't you sing me out!
From where he stands he can hear the sound,
Of those old gravediggers turning up the ground;
It’s been thirty years since she left his hands,
And hey she’s still waiting on the Promised Land.
Sing me out,
Lay my burdens down!
Sing me out,
And take my body to the burying ground.
Sing me over Jordan cause I'm glory bound,
Oh sweet Lord, won't you sing me,
Sing me out,
Lay my burdens down!
Sing me out,
Sing me over Jordan
Oh sweet Lord won't you sing me,
Sing me out,
Lay my burdens down!
Sing me out,
And take my body to the burying ground.
Sing me over Jordan cause I'm glory bound,
Oh sweet Lord, won't you sing me out.
