[Verse 1]
I do not have no
Wings like an angel
But like a bird
I'm bound to fly
Like a pretty little bird
I'll be returning
To my sweet little by and by
[Chorus]
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
[Verse 2]
I do not have no
Four wheels around me
But like a car
I was made to drive
Like a rickety old car
I'm steady rolling
To my sweet little by and by
[Chorus]
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
[Verse 3]
I do not have no
Cold water falling
But like a river
I'm moving on
Like the Mississippi River
Overflowing
To my sweet little by and by
[Chorus]
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
Yer my sweet little by and by
But you know I never rest
When I'm by your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
(Hey Hey) By your side
