I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne
Lord I'm troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more
I wonder where my father, Lordy
I wonder where he's gone
Now he's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne
Oh Daniel he was troubled, Lordy
He prayed three times a day
The angels heist the window, Lordy
To hear what Daniel had to say
Lord I'm troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more
Oh David he was troubled, Lordy Lord
Out on the desert, see
And then he killed Goliath, Lordy
To win his gold and sheep
Lord I'm troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more
I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne
Lord I'm troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more
I wonder where my sister, Lordy
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne
I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
She won't be troubled any more
