Verse 2
I was walkin' in Savannah past a church, (F major)
decayed and dim (C major)
When there slowly through the window came
a plaintive (F major) fu neral hymn
(C major) My sympathy (B flat major) awakened,
my won (G major) der quickly (C major) grew
Till I found myself environed in
a little negro (F major) pew
(G major) Down in front a young couple
sat in (A minor) sor row, nearly wild
(C major) On the altar was a coffin, (G major)
in the coffin (F major) was a child
(C major) Rose a sad, old negro preacher
at a little wooden desk
In a manner (B flat major) grandly (F major) awkward
with a countenance (C major) grotesque
And he said (A minor) "Now,
(D minor) don't be weepin' (G major) for this pretty bit of clay
(C major) For the little boy that lived there,
he done gone and (F major) run away
He's doin' very finely (C major) and
he (A minor) appreciates your love
But (C major) his sure enough Father want
(G major) him in that large house up above
(C major) He didn't give you that baby
by a hundred thousand miles
He (F major) just think you need some sunshine
(C major) and He lent it for a while
And He let ya (F major) love and keep it
till your hearts (G major) were bigger grown
(C major) And these silver tears you're sheddin',
they's just in (F major) terest on the loan
(C major) So, my poor dejec (F major) ted mourners,
let your (C major) hearts with Jesus (A minor) rest
Don't go criticizin' (C major) the One
that (G major) knows the best
He's give us (C major) many comforts,
He has the right to take away
(F major) To the Lord, be praised in glory (C major) now and ever,

let us pray"
(A minor) My Lord, (G major) He call (C major) s me
He calls (G major) me by the thun (C major) der
The trumpet sounds within my (G major) soul
I (B major) ain't got (A minor) long to stay (G major) here (F major) (C major)
(B major) I'm gonna (A minor) steal away (G major) home (C major) (F major)
