0

[Intro]
Ah, this world is no home for the Christian (No sir). After a while, we're going home to live with Jesus (Amen). After a while, we're going out of the gunshot of the devil (Yes). After a while (Yes sir). After a while, we're going where we'll be troubled no more (Amen) with midnight ramblers.​
[Verse 1]
After a while (After a while)
Well-a, after a while (After a while)
Well, well, some sweet day after a while
Well, I'm going home to live with Jesus
Well, some sweet day after a while
[Interlude]
After a while (Amen), we're going where there'll be no more [?] habitual liars (Amen). After a while (Yes sir), we're going where there'll be trouble no more with slick-fingered gamblers (Have mercy). After a while (After a while), and by and by ([?]), we're going where we won't mourn no more (Amen). After a while (Yes), after a while (Oh yes), we're going where we'll be troubled no more with our rheumatic pain (Amen). After a while (Yes sir), after a while.​
[Verse 2]
After a while (Yes) (After a while)
Well-a, after a while (After a while)
A-well, well, some sweet day after a while
Well-a, I'm gonna hear my lovin' mother
Well, some sweet day after a while
[Verse 1]
After a while (After a while)
Well-a, after a while (After a while)
A-well, well, some sweet day after a while
Well-a, I'm going home to live with Jesus
Well, some sweet day after a while
[Interlude]
After a while (Oh yes), we'll be through wettin' our pillow with midnight tears (Yes sir) (Amen). After a while (Amen), we'll be through going with our head hung down like a bulrush in the valley (Amen).​
[Verse 3]
After a while (After a while)
Well-a, after a while (After a while)
Well, well, some sweet day after a while
Well, I'm gonna see my lovin' brother
Well, some sweet day after a while
