Verse 1 

Babe take this band of gold
off-a-my finger
‘Til my final rest anyway
I don't know how long I can linger
I only know I cannot stay

Chorus

But don't you cry so long
Don't cry so long
Don't you cry so long
I'll be fine

Don't you cry so long
Don't you cry, cry cry
Jesus callin' me for suppertime

Verse 2

Babe, move in close; softly whisper
A secret only the two of us
could know
A good-bye kiss; lover I'll miss you
Babe, now it's time for you
to let me go.

 Verse 3

Babe, I know you're angry
that I'm leavin’
Please forgive; let it be
the Gospel way we both be believin’
So go on set your own self free

And someday 
And someday Oh
And one fine day Oh
Babe, find a better man than me

Chorus

Don't you cry so long
Don't cry so long
Don't you cry so long

I'll be o.k.

 Don't you cry so long
Don't you cry, cry cry
We'll meet up again on Glory Day

And don't you cry so long
Don't cry so long
Don't you cry so long
I'm goin' Home

 Don't you cry so long
Don't you cry, cry cry
Though I'm gone
You'll never be alone.
