Lyrics

When I'm on my journey, don't you weep after me
When I'm on my journey, don't you weep after me
I'm crossing over the Jordan to that kingdom there
Forgive me for the sins that I must bear

King David is my captain, don't you weep after me
King David is my captain, don't you weep after me
King David is our captain, the Devil is our foe
A soldier's life is a sure hard way to go
A soldier's life is a sure hard way to go

When you find your faith is broke
And the words to offer comfort are spoke
I'll, I'll never forget you
I guess I never could
I'll, I'll never forget you
Even when they say I should

Bright angels are singing, don't you weep after me
Bright angels are singing, don't you weep after me
And when the order's given, into that void I leap
When I’m on my journey, don’t you weep
When I'm on my journey, don't you weep
When I'm on my journey, don't you weep
