O by and by, by and by,
I'm gwinter lay down my heavy load.

I know my robes gwinter fit me well,
I'm gwinter lay down my heavy load
I tried them on at the gates of hell.
I'm gwinter lay down my heavy load.

O hell is deep and dark despair,
I'm gwinter lay down my heavy load.
o stop poor sinner, and don't go there.
I'm gwinter lay down my heavy load.
