`Tis sundown children and I can't be late. My Master and I have an early date. My promise kept and my duties fulfilled, cause here on earth, I did my Father s will. `Tis time out my friends, I just got to go, the Lily o f the Valley wrote it so. He sent an Angel to put me to sleep. Now, now "Why do you weep?'' My harvest is all over and crops all in, my God delivered me from this world o f sin. He closed my eyes and sealed my lips, touched me gently with His fingertips. Blow taps now, for I must call it a day, I 've packed my burden and I 'm headed the other way. Cry only now for me quietly in the still o f the night, for I 'll be waiting for your Heavenly flight.
