I'M ON MY WAY

(learned from Pete Seeger in the 1960s)

I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
To Canaan-land (to Canaan-land)//
I'm on my way, great God, I'm on my way.

I asked my brother
To come with me,
    I'm on my way...

I asked my sister
To come with me,
    I'm on my way...

I asked my boss
To let me go,
    I'm on my way...

If he says no
I'll go anyhow
    I'm on my way...

I'm on my way
And I won't turn back
    I'm on my way...
