I've got long to stay here
I was walking in Savannah,
past a church decayed and dim,
And there slowly through the window
came a plaintiff's funeral hymn,
F
And a sympathy awakened
Bb
G
and a wonder quickly grew,
C
Till I found myself in Bard
and a little Negro pew,
Out in front a young couple
set in sorrow, nearly wild,
On the altar was a coffin,
G
in the coffin was a child.
C
Rose a sad old negro preacher
in a little wooden desk,
G
With a manner grandly awkward,
with a countenance grotesque.
F
And he said,
C
Now, don't be weeping for this petty bit of clay,
for the little boy who lived here
to go and run away.
He's doing very finely,
F
G
and he appreciates your love,
C
but his sure enough father want him
in the large house up above.
Now he didn't give you that baby
by a hundred thousand miles.
He just thinks you need some sunshine,
G
and he lent it for a while.
C
And he lets you love and keep it,
till your hearts was bigger
grown.
And these silver tears you're shedding,
G
is just interest on the loan.
F
So my poor dejected mourners,
C
let your hearts with Jesus rest.
And don't go criticizing
the one that knows the best.
He's give us many comforts.
He has a right to take away.
F
To the Lord be praised in glory,
G
C
now and ever.
Let us pray.
My Lord calls me.
He calls me by the thunder.
The trumpet sounds within my
G
C
Oh, I ain't got long to stay here
