Langue: anglais




I'm gonna sit at the welcome table,*
I'm gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days, Hallelujah!
I'm gonna sit at the welcome table,
I'm gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days.
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory,
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory one of these days,
Hallelujah!
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory,
I'm gonna walk the streets of glory one of these days.
I'm gonna get my civil rights,
I'm gonna get my civil rights one of these days, Hallelujah!
I'm gonna get my civil rights,
I'm gonna get my civil rights one of these days.
I'm gonna sit at the Woolworth counter,**
I'm gonna sit at the Woolworth counter one of these days, Hallelujah!
I'm gonna sit at the Woolworth counter,
I'm gonna sit at the Woolworth counter one of these days.
* In the Spiritual "The Welcome Table" refers to being in Heaven. In civil rights songs, "welcome table" alludes to the sit-in protests at lunch counters in public facilities where Black people were refused service.

** "Woolwoth" was (is?) a public facility which refused to serve Black people.
