Lyrics
I guess I been hanging around too long
It’s just about time I was moving along
But I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
But don’t you worry and don’t you moan
It’s just about time I was moving along
But I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m a gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
Don’t you worry and don’t you moan
It’s just about time I was moving along
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Just one thing before you carry me away
Don’t you bury me deep ’cause I ain’t gonna stay
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
A little bit of dirt and a little bit of gravel
Don’t you weigh me down ’cause you know I gotta travel
And I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I’m a gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
Don’t you worry and don’t you moan
Just about time I was moving along
I’m gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning.
