Steal away steal away steal away to jesus[00:00:00]
Steal away steal away home[00:00:17]
I ain't got long to stay here[00:00:28]
I was walkin' in savannah passed the church decayed and dim[00:00:45]
There's slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn[00:00:51]
A sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew[00:00:57]
Till i found myself environed in a little negro pew[00:01:01]
Down a front a few young couple[00:01:07]
On the altar was a coffin and in the coffin was a child[00:01:10]
Rows of sad old negro preacher at a little wooden desk[00:01:16]
With a manner grandly offered with the countment grotesque[00:01:21]
He said now don't be weepin' for this pretty bit of clay[00:01:26]
For the little boy who lived there he's done gone and run away[00:01:37]
He is doin' very finly and he appreaciated your love[00:01:42]
But he's sure enough father want him in the large house up above[00:01:47]
Now he didn't give you that baby not by a hundred thousand miles[00:01:53]
He just think you need some sunshine he lend him for awhile[00:02:00]
And he let you love and keep till your hearts was bigger grown[00:02:06]
And these silver tears you've shed they're just interest on the lawn[00:02:12]
So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with jesus rest[00:02:19]
And don't go criticize no one that knows the best[00:02:27]
He's give us many comforts and he has the right to take away[00:02:32]
To the lord be praised in glory now and ever let us pray[00:02:38]
My lord calls me he calls me by the thunder[00:02:49]
The trumpet sounds within my soul[00:03:00]
I ain't got long to stay here[00:03:09]
I'm gonna steal away home[00:03:23]
