I'm goin' over the hill
I'm goin' on over the hill
I'm goin' over the hill
Yeah, as soon as I can make me a few round

Finally master see me, just a few more ups and down
I'm goin' on over the hill
I'm goin' over the hill,
I'm goin' over the hill,
I'm goin' over the hill,

Oh well, I went in the valley, I didn't go to stay
Soon God had me child,
I stay down there all day
I went on over the hill

When I get to heaven, gon' sit right down
Askin' master, just to get my starry down
