 15727>(Juanita Southern)
 
 
 
 (Lord, they're on their way, on their way.)
 
 
 
 Saw a man, an angry man
 
 Killed his brother with his own hands
 
 Brother laid on the ground
 
 Sinner man, you'd better kneel down.
 
 
 
 He's on his way Lord, on his way
 
 On his way Lord, on his way
 
 He's on his way Lord, on his way
 
 Oh, oh Lord, he's on his way (on his way.)
 
 
 
 So a girl, a pretty girl
 
 Disgusted with her mixed up world
 
 And over those tranquillities
 
 Forever ends reality.
 
 
 
 She's on her way Lord, on her way
 
 On her way Lord, on her way
 
 SHe's on her way Lord, on her way
 
 Oh, oh Lord, she's on her way (on her way.)
 
 
 
 Two young boys, black and white
 
 Each one thinks his world is right
 
 Fighting for color of skin
 
 They'll never know which one will win.
 
 
 
 They're on their way Lord, on their way
 
 On their way Lord, on their way
 
 They're on their way Lord, on their way
 
 Oh, oh Lord, they're on their way (on their way.)
 
 
 
 (Lord they're on their way, on their way...)
