I'm going on a great, great journey,

A better home to find.

When Jesus calls me,

I'll be ready to leave this world behind.

I've had enough of drinking whiskey.

Mama asked me before she died:

Trade your bottle fo ra Bible;

Join me on the ther Side, so

l'm going on a great, great journey,

A better home to find.

When Jesus calls me,

I'll be ready to leave this world behind.

Give my guitar to my Daddy:

He stood by me for so long.

Give my fiddle to my brother,

Bid them play a happy song, because

I'm going on a great, great journey,

A better home to find.

When Jesus calls me,

I'll be ready to leave this world behind.

Here's some whiskey l left for you;

Everybody take aturn.

Float my pine box in the river.

Light it up and watch it burn.

For I'm going on a great, great journey,

A better home to find.

When Jesus calls me,

I'll be ready to leave this world behind.

Favourite genre of music: country music, man!
