I'll Come Tomorrow Night

Cat. #1570 (MFH #1034) - As sung by Burl Harvey, Fayetteville, Arkansas on August 18, 1975

VERSE 1
Two young men, met on th street
T'was on one Thursday
They were brothers, you could tell
But one seemed about to leave
One was dressed in a uniform
With God's love in his heart
Took th other by th hand
Saying, Brother, we must go

VERSE 2
O, come an' go with me tonight
I heard th other say
God, He loves you, Brother dear
He's pleadin' night an' day
Come an' go wih me, to th mission hall
An' there give God your heart
N' meet your brother in Heaven where
We'll never, never part

VERSE 3
No, I must go an' join th boys
An' have another spree
If I come as faithfully
Will be th last for me
Then I will come tomorrow night
Forever to do right
Now, my Brother, I must go
I'll come tomorrow night

VERSE 4
Tomorrow night, it never came
Th young man's soul again
God, He got him from this world
All full of guilt an' sin
His Brother --- his coffin drew
With tear drops in his eyes
Remembering that his last words were
I'll come tomorrow night

VERSE 5
O, come an' go with me tonight
I heard th other say
This I promise faithfully
It'll be th last for me
Then I will come tomorrow night
Forever, to do right
Now, my Brother, I must go
I'll be tomorrow night
