After A While

Lyrics

[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
